I do NOT like tough-guys who think their every move is so very impressive. Grr. Anything these guys think of themselves is probably, of course, quite On the Contrary!



If y’ think you’re so strong,
if y’ think you’re so tough,
I’ve gotta’ let you know
something to the contrary.

There are so many ways
to be full of yourself.
‘Course, that mostly means
the truth is to the contrary.

On the contrary,
I’m not what you think I am.
On the contrary,
you can’t hope to classify me.
On the contrary,
I’m changing every day.
On the contrary,
I am not you!

Such a pretty face
for this dirty little place,
and I think you’ll find
your actions to the contrary.

You’re good at being blind,
and your values waste away.
You’re not gonna make
your life become the contrary.

On the contrary,
I’m not what you think I am.
On the contrary,
you can’t hope to classify me.
On the contrary,
I’m changing every day.
On the contrary,
I am not you!

This is who I am!
This is what I want!
This is how I try!
This is the way I say goodbye!



And this is where you would whirl around and slam the door in the face of said guy.

Well, I have to say at this juncture in time that I feel the strength of your emotions in this piece and know you're right. Some guys, unfortunately, are that way. However, it reads to me like you've got them all figured out and will certainly be able to make decisions to suit the situation.
Nice writing!

(big hugggssssss) Oh Anvrill, this is so very sad, sweet friend, I hope everything is better now for this is indeed a powerfully anguishing write and I can understand this frustratio! (sigh) Well-said, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anvrill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
