In Circles

And I quote what they say And they say what the others quote And others quote what I say We going in circles, this is a race, a relay And we stay, back as as they live out their dreams and we dream what other dreams but ours seems, to never come to pass and mom said this to shall pass and they say tushe and u always say duces to haters but I have a grind to stay on and a legacy to keep, and she always tell him baby I'm not cheap, as she sell herself to society for free and pass out her integrity and he say baby take care of me, you see we going in circles and they said the earth is flat and I ask dad where he going and he said baby I'll be right back and that was that. And my mama said she seen that, coming from a mile a away and sometime I wanted to run a way but my mileage wasn't going to get me far away and today I can say I'm so gone off far away until I can't grasp what be holds before me and he said he isn't for me and I tried to make sure I fit for me and they said they was on my team and I found out they was all against me, so now I keep a nine on me. Because the norm of society isn't a fit for me. And he said baby you gets me and I never even got myself and I always told my self that I'm always first before anybody else so he eventually went on to somebody else and sometimes I wonder am I'm going to stay by myself. I just can't help, but to think if I just done things differently, how differently things will be and we keep going in circles so you see and now I don't even believe me.

Jaimee, , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
