[hometext] => I quit writing poetry after writing this poem last year because of low self esteem. Haven't wrote anything since but just wanted to share this.
[bodytext] => Get used to yourself...
Like you're used to others putting you down
Like you're used to putting you down
Like you're used to girls not talking to you
Like you're used to them just walking pass you and not smiling
Get used to yourself...
Like you're used to negativity
Like you're used to the bullcrap
Like you're used to low expectations
Like you're used to the color black
Like you're used to darkness
Get used to yourself...
Like you're used to being alone
Like you're used to being underestimated
Like you're used to being overlooked
Like you're used to being forgotten
Like you're used to being ignored
Like you're used to not mattering to people that matter to you
Like you're used to meaning nothing to people that mean something to you
Get used to yourself...
Like you're used to telling yourself you love yourself but think you're lying
Like you're used to people saying good things to & about you but think they're lying
Like you're used to expecting bad things to be said to & about you
Get used to yourself...
Get used to your voice...
It is as deep as your spoken word, rhymes or not
Because this poem doesn't rhyme and it hits the spot like good sex
It has strength in it that has yet to be tapped into
And it has the power to attack hearts and cause heart attacks
Get used to yourself...
Get used to your voice...
Get used to your stage...
Your stage
Your stage
No matter where you go
Your stage awaits you
And once you step on it
It is your home
Your home
Your throne
Your throne
Your stage
Your stage
Your stage
Your stage
It is your stage
And even after you step off
It is still your stage
And it will always await you
So get used to your stage...
Get used to your voice...
Get used to yourself...
Or...
Get used to not writing anymore.
