Let me be

Contributed by Caged Soul on Monday, 5th September 2005 @ 03:49:47 AM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems



Just let me be me in the way it pleases me om rede
ek is wie ek is, hou op jou gedra soos n vis en besef
I aint gonna change for nobody,
Aint gonna turn around to make anybody proud
I’ma say it out loud.

Just let me be me in the way it pleases me om rede
ek maker nie jou seen, ek staan op sterke been.

Jy verwag ek gaan sit en treer, ek’t gedink jy’t
geleer.
Ek het jou nie nodig nie, jy’s dan n las.
Is dit swaar om dit te hoor, sorry om jou bubble te bars.

You expect me to follow in you example,
but have you taken a look at yourself
lately?
You keep up this holy façade while behind you just downright shady.
You contradict yourself
with what you say. Jy dink jy’s slim,
dink weer as jy dink jy kan my kul.

I refuse to believe the lie
You perceive to be truth, believing the
deception that rots away the roots of individuality.
You expect me to reflect your monotony,
if I do, it will lead to insanity.

Great poem. From this poem I can sense that your mom is trying to force you to go to church. I have been through that. I am just guessing. I also guess from you poem that . . . somethings are better left unsaid.
