Taking My Name

Dang them grey clouds are rolling in What’s wrong with life I don’t even know where to begin Life is down and out my theme song is being played with a violin Bad times and down times is all I know because the good times are a has been Up and over the hill I cant make the climb And I haven’t even reached my prime I think it’s here yes it’s about that time I stand here in front of you and admit I have crossed the line Tired of putting up that fake smile in place of the truth I sometimes wish I could go back in time to my youth My life is something you don’t know I thought I was making it out but the pain only continues to grow It’s a shame because my life cant even flow Over the people who do me wrong Over the people who use me for what I have Over the people who believe they know me Over the people who pretend they are there for me Over the friends who call themselves real Over the girls who think they different I am over yall can’t you see My life is mine it can’t be used as a shopping spree My advice is useful and has a special key My words are that of wisdom in which most will agree My poems and quotes will bring you down to one knee So stop buying my life and burning it and leaving me with the debris I am tired of always having to put up a fight I am weak now and but anger shall not be seen I will remain polite Where are the real people please shine your light Because I am surrounded by the fakes something I recite Can’t say hi on a daily basis even if you try with all your might So don’t call me for that favor late at night I am tired of doing favors and being nice your taking advantage and it’s just not right My life has no flare you guys put out my flame Putting my life to shame Girls should know I am too old I don’t play them little games I am not an object in which you can claim I am not an animal in which you can tame What you guys and the world made me is what I became Congratulations you all get a round of applause your in the hall of fame For what you ask…for taking my name :/ © Jeremy Fennell
