Peace Out

Perceptions, vibes, aura, energy
It’s all affecting me
Messing up my emotions and creating 
Commotion within me
What I thought I once knew has been interrupted
By vocal opinions
Stop messing with my decisions
I thought I had it all together
I thought I knew what I wanted
It’s all discombobulated now
Sometimes I think I’ve been taunted
By the second-hand smoke that's dispersing in the atmosphere 
Should I inhale or hold my breathe in fear
Fear of losing familiarity in the midst of this cloud 
Now I’ve received clarity
To walk away piece by piece
So I throw up my deuces
Stand up
I’m out 
PEACE!

I'm never influenced by the opinions of others, for it's a reflection of themselves, enjoyed reading your poem Shy have a lovely weekend. Xx

Congrats on your new book. I will order next time I order stuff so I get free shipping. I also had my book published this week (Thoughts of the Confused and Broken Hearted). Have you posted any of the poems from your book on the site? Just wanted to say thanks as your class was helpful in writing my book.
