Who is me?

• Artist: ScenicRawr
• Description: This is a poem I wrote not too long ago. I felt that people were .. trying to change me I guess. And I was changing. But I realized that I didn't like it and I was just going to be me. My style of Poetry, many may not know of is Slam, a form of Spoken Word poetry. For those who know what it is, you understand that these poems have much more impact performed from the mouth, rather than read. This is actually a shorter poem of mine, I hope that you all enjoy.

Lost inside my mind
I can't seem to find
That secret that lays inside of me
Me
Who is me?
Who am I?
That question deemed to society
Let them judge who is me
Who I are
Who I be
Who I am trying to be

I am an Oak tree
Trapped inside the bark of a Palm tree
Banches just, yearning to burst out
But something is holding me back
Oh, what is holding me back?
Please society, tell me what is holding me back
S-o-c-i-e-t- why do you not answer me?
Is it beacuse you are too scared to tell me that you're holding me back?

Get off my back
I'm done with that
Here's a poem
Chew on that
I no longer care what you think of me
I'll walk through city halls
Tangled, matted hair
No shoes, no socks
N' all
Ringing bells and reciting unwritten poems
Because they are destined to be heard
I am destined to be heard
So hear me out
Just, hear me out
I care too much of what people think of me
I care too much of being free
So for now
I'll be
And undefined me.
