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
