What The Heck
by Anne Engelen
Change the way you think
Try to have a positive look on life
Look at the things you do have
Look in the mirror and try to see what others see
Stop this pity-act, just be yourself
Dont you just love peoples concern?
JUST BE YOURSELF
What a laugh!!
Everyone seems to have an opinion
about how to be me
about whats supposed to make me happy
about what Im supposed to see
Yet they dont take the time
To try to understand how the heck I feel
My feelings,my emotions
They are my drive
They make me tick
They are so darn real
And yes...to them I stick
Going against them
A total energy absorbent act
Its consuming me alive
Just another sad fact
I hate to admit I am losing this battle
I, emotions and reason combined
The reason is ready to surrender
My feelings , no longer defined
So tell me , mirror, honestly
The image you reflect of what you see
Is that still me?

Peace... |
