DarkPoetry -|- AlluringDescent_darkbride -|- The way that I am

The way that I am

I cry
Does that make me weak?
I care
Does that make me ignorant?
I laugh
Does that make me happy?
I lie
Does that make me bad?
I love
Does that make me vulnerable?
I pray
Does that make me religious?
I write
Does that make me a geek?
I act out
Does that make me a disgruntled youth?
I get depressed
Does that make me dark?
I get angry
Does that make me dangerous?
I feel
Does that make me less of a person?
I cry
Does that make me weak?

Not all that you see is what I am
Not all that I do paints a picture
You can’t describe me in just one word
So don’t bother me with your stricture
I can act how I want, and be who I am
Without any help from you
So why try to change something you can’t?
Or try and tell me what to do?

OOoo...I like! Categorizing is wrong, it can't justly be done because it requires subjective judgment and that is a contradictory in terms! I got much out of this work. Wonderful. ~JMDW~
