Array ( [sid] => 9551 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => The Killer [time] => 2002-12-31 22:40:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Killer is just a nickname,
It’s not what I wish to do.
I’ll fight only when the need arises,
I have nothing I want to prove!
Please, why don’t you understand?

A soft heart beats inside of me,
Although outside I’m rough.
Listen to the things I say!
You’ll see that I’m not so gruff,
And maybe come to realize, that I have feelings too!

Why look to me to protect you?
I’m tired of that part.
I no longer want to fight,
To defend the honor, of some little tart,
Who’s brought trouble to her door.

No, I do not have your back,
In a fight that you called down.
And you, I’m not your friggin’ superhero,
When you ***** off, half the town!
Aren’t you supposed to be family and friends?!

Then step back and take a look at me,
Because that’s not who I am.
It’s not “The Killer” you should see,
But the simple, gentle man.
Just see me!

I feel a lot like this sometimes as well. You have my complete understanding if these feelings you described are true for yourself.

Great poem it hits home hard. Altho I like to fight, I dont like to cause harm to those around me even if I dont know them. But if they refuse to talk it out then let the blood flow.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
