Slamming My Way To Freedom

You think that you know me Reading me like a book I had more to give you Than the pages you took Try taking a closer look I don't need your disrespect You're completely unaware Thinking that I really care you're the chump I'm the player Step back get out of my hair Your chance, has come and gone Watch, as I walk out the door I won't settle any more This is not what I'm made for I lift myself from the floor You want me, because I'm gone So who is now the fool You thought, I was yours to rule Yet I could not be your mule You the master on that stool I am made of stronger stuff Watch as now I light the sky You can't catch me if you try You're left alone wondering why I seemed so fragile and so shy Verlena Walker's Slamming Competition.

Understandable, the perimeters added extra challenge, I enjoyed writing this one.

Slamming for sanity....I can't think of a better reason to slam. Well done Rick. Hugs

He was a cool dude and the boy can sing. The girls seemed to like him, I guess it was the bad boy that they liked.

well, Richard. I did not like the perimeters she put on the slam poem for her contest, but I'd say you did about the best anyone could do under these conditions. VERY good job. Gosh, what is going on in your life these days?? hahaha. soupmail.
