To explain myself one would need to have walked through what I have walked through,
To understand me you would have to view the world as I do,
To truly grasp me you would inevitably have to be me,
You see..everyone is unique and there is no this way or that way,
No two people are hardwired the same,
Those that think the same means nothing more than having common interests with one another,
Do not be amazed; background teachings and moral upbringing could have been similar if not the same,
But you my friend are not me, and to understand me you would have to be me,
Something you could never be nor do, can’t you see I am me,
And you are you; put aside the animosity and insights,
Save them for someone closed minded and lost in translation,
My mind is no place for your kind; your opinions are not mine,
Your so called social ability is meager and inconclusive,
We live, we laugh, we cry and inevitably we die,
What you fail to see is why, why do we react differently all the time,
It’s our mind, and to assume you and another are a like should be a crime,
And within those actions we see what separates you from me, me from you and us from them….

To the readers....

For the few og's that remain u may notice the style change. Times have changed and ryhming words seems all but played out, i have chosen to write exactly the way my mind has translated what it thinks. This by no means is tradational and its enjoyable to say the least for me, can u consider this a poem, not by conventional means but since when have i ever been conventional.

to the new heads that nvr got to read my older works to truly understand what im thinking u have to read inbetween the lines i dont always mean what i say in the literal term...my mind is always expanding the true meaning with nothing more than simple twists and repetitive word usage in lines. if u dont understand thats fine if u hate it even better it shows the shallow teachings of society and why im thankful my poems remain mine and not the sociably accepted norm.

to those that like different keep up the fight to not be the sheep that many cultures and world powers want you to be, remember the mind is a terriable thing to waste.......:thumb:
 
I liked it, the lack of rhyme didnt matter to me cause the message over-took that anyway. I especially liked;

But you my friend are not me, and to understand me you would have to be me

My mind is no place for your kind; your opinions are not mine

And within those actions we see what separates you from me, me from you and us from them….

I've been here for about a year and a half and don't really remember some of your work, gotta check'em out. But with the poem, samething artistgurl stated. U got your point clearer than a mothafucka without even rhymin'. I'ma keep on rhymin', but I got respect ya for this poem. I call this a poem, an art of thought/mentality. Do Mo

peace
 
I don't remember any of your earlier work. But I liked this. It flowed well even if you didn't intend for it to. I think when words rhyme without it being obvious that that was the author's intent, the piece comes out better. I also like the message that was portrayed throughout the piece.
 
I definitely remember your early work from like 2001, when every poem was about being apart from a girl and how it was just killing you. And then one day no more about it. They were good poems. This one is good too. You don't need to rhyme. There's a long tradition of non-rhyming poems.

To write a poem you must have a streak of arrogance--not in real life I hope. By arrogance I mean that when you are writing you must assume that the next thing you put down belongs not for reasons of logic, good sense, or narrative development, but because you put it there. You, the same person who said that, also said this. The adhesive force is your way of writing, not sensible connection. And I think you do that well.
 
I really took my time until I replied to this one I know, that's cause I usually don't reply to poems that don't rhyme. I know u say u don't need to rhyme here cause it is was it is. Anyway, I wanted to say that I like the title a lot, To Explain Myself, that sticks with me cause....many times, maybe always, that's why I do what I do. Believe me, I like the msg a lot.

cya around.


P.S:

Yep. and i remember it well. Man it seems crazy some of us have been here this long now.

nice drop Sicc. I enjoyed it, it was a great expression of the point you were making, and it gives in insight into your own way of thinking which all good poems should do. nice one man.
 
oohhh I looovvee This!!!
I like the start, the middle and ending... there's a strong message behind ur words and thats wat makes this piece so strong to the reader... man i remember ur work back in the days lol I might've been a lil imature back then to c the whole concept of ur writing.. but ima lil more grown up now and honestly loved this piece down to every word writen...

Something you could never be nor do, can’t you see I am me,
And you are you; put aside the animosity and insights,
