    Don't Bother

    just a thought of trying to know me, don't bother....just a way of trying to see what makes me the me that i am, don't bother....it gets under my skin to know people trying to know me on the outside but not trying to know me within....so i say to you don't bother....if you feel threaten by the way i am or the way i wanna be, don't bother....we all should accept the people we interact with the way they are and the person we know them to be, not by what we want but some people can't so i say to them don't bother....it hurts my heart that we even try to be something or somebody that we know we not and i say to those people, don't bother....its hard to say what i have to say without a tear reaching my face becuz it hurts so much that somebody don't like me for me so as to what i have to say to those people, don't bother....don't bother with me becuz if you don't like me then, you won't like me now so don't bother....i am who i am for the reason that i am and i love the me that i be....the cry i cry, the write i write, the song i sing, the feeling i feel, the words i say, the air i breathe, the things i cherish, they all are part of me and the way i be so if there is something in that list you don't like, don't bother....to those of you who can accept me for me, i say to you, there's more to know than the surface of the book, my pages in between are filled, some with love, some with hate, but most with knowing that i am who i am and i hate no-one but love any-one....if you can be my friend with the me that i am, you can bother.........

    I found your poem maybe by chance and took the time, and took a glance. The words you wrote were pure and true and spoke about some of the troubles that I’ve been going through. And man! I like your view. So I just wanted to say, Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. For what you said and what you do. And most of all…for you being you. :)

    These are the words most people want to say and can't. You said them so beautiful and from your heart. It sounds to me you are the kind of person anyone could see and like.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
