Staying To Myself

I don’t want to talk to anybody I just want to handle my business and work Tired of talking to the wrong people And being hurt All I did was express how I feel Trying to keep it real I express myself and now I’m crazy And I thought we was cool I guess I’m the fool Now I understand I’m just going to come to work and do what I can I have no friends in this place I just want to work hard and get paid I still have to learn not to be so trusting and open And I can’t always be too friendly Cause I never know who for me or against me That’s why right now I’m hurtin Cause I end up trusting the wrong person This is how it is in this moment in life I tried to be cool with everybody I really tried I’m just going to stay to myself Alone, I’m satisfied It is what it is I get upset just like everybody else When I’m upset and I express myself I don’t hear them say, it’s cool It’ll be ok I turn my back and walk away and they say She’s crazy They just hate They don’t understand me They don’t even try This is why I love poetry Why I love to write Poetry is my therapy I need to stop letting people get to me I know it’ll be ok Can’t let people ruin me I just want to work Put my emotional wall up So again I won’t get hurt And when it’s time to go I walk out that door I don’t want to talk no more See yall tomorrow I'm going to pray and meditate Right now, I'm in my feelings but Yall will see me with a smile the next day

An honest assessment of the way of the world today.. those who shine like you do will always have haters that will try to cast a shadow on your Light. But the good thing about Light, is that shadows will always be pushed aside by it. Light your candle. And inspire others to light theirs as well.
