Outlaw

It’s ok you can keep the change deception and games 
Coming across ever so lame 

I’m not playing anymore 
I don’t give two fucks about the score 
Been here one two many times before 

Attention and selfies for those that need
Self centred is no longer all greed 

Ignored are the ones that bleed 
The ones where honesty makes them shy and recede 

Bringing the walls down in an attempt to raise the roof 
I could see it all I don’t really need the proof 

I wanted free swinging doors 
Crafted from bottled messages along sunset shores 

Brand new parts for obsolete engines 
Tools that don’t fit 
All in a race to abscond and quit 

Has anyone else had enough of this shit ? 

The hazard alarm is ringing 
Nobody can hear is sound 

Only seems to be my feet moving across the ground 

This time I’m leaving now once and for good 
Ignore the easy escape 

A powerful lust or drug 

Because self obsession 
Is not self love 

Forget doings thing because you should 
Have a look and see if you would 

You’d be an outlaw if you could

Being Me

Romantic lines! These words definitely came across as romantic. But the rest was the opposite. The poem took my mind to that place where you find yourself stuck in a toxic relationship. And then you find the courage to walk.

Deep!  But relatable to a great many x

I have to add, though, in some ways it reminds me of posting on Cosmo too!
