Believed to be Me

Shake this bad boy image I try, There is more than meets the eye

Rotten apple of my family’s tree, Friends Relatives don’t understand me

Anger and Rage just becomes me, Sensitive being fights to be free

Suppressed by life’s immoralities, Acquainted, Unacquainted dislike me

Opinions formed how are they to be, More to me than what they believe

Try to display the best me to see, The best me to see doesn’t always please

Jealousy causes perception perceived, Am I the wicked devil they conceive

Novel like, I’ve chapters all are me, Some are hidden some are seen

Image portrayed haunt my dreams, Battle to let the real me be free

Wall of venom bring I with me, to shield against pain I perceive

Violence disguised insecurity, deep nice guy you’ll see

So offensively defensive I am, Hurting the hurtful before they can

So here I stand alone again, Misunderstood by kindred kin

That don’t understand why I am, Offensively defensive to them

Can’t let my guard down and free, The man God intended me to be

Life lived in constant misery, This is the conflicted history

Of thy fable believed to be, ME!
