?Who Really Says That?



I was born in Texas
It's where I've spent all my days.
I don't like rodeos, or cowboy hats
“Yehaaaa” isn't something I say
Who really says that?

I'm 47 years old,
and I really do like rap
When all other people my age
around me say it's a bunch of crap.
I'm supposed to crawl in to their narrow cage?

They look at me
like something’s wrong
because I like heavy metal
Well think on, all they like
because I'm not going to conform
I'm just not going to settle.

I seem to step late
others wonder why the wait?
Why does it take so long
Well I don't know
I guess with me
there is
something
wrong.

I mean no one harm
But I'm labeled not warm?
That's just not how I feel.
I don't want to hurt people
So people act like
are you the real deal?

On every side,
down every avenue
I'm the road less traveled
But then again, am I?
Well I feel it's true.

Walk a mile
in my shoes
If you dare
See what
it’s like.
Change
me
If
you
choose.
See I’m
the
one
with
no
clues.







hahaha, and this is the real kicker...I read this before submitting. Just in a goofy, silly, nonsense mood.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing about
being in that mood!  IF we all would just
let our hair down (those that have it) and
go for the gusto!!!

Hi girlies...thanks to all of you.... I am so glad I don't feel so alone in this liking this stuff, and being too old. Everyone in my circles looks at me like I've lost my mind for liking Metallica, Godsmack, among other ones I can't remember right now, and Eminem, and Shaggy, and a few other rap groups. Also Coolio...Anyways the list goes on. About six months ago I wrote a poem about eminem, but I haven't been able to find it. I haven't seen 8 mile yet. I also lost my LOTR-Frodo Baggins poem. Just broke my heart. Well thanks again girlies. Rock on!!!

Terri~
