hey yall greetings from the great state of virginia. i have been down here over a month so thats why no one has seen me. ![]() ![]() I Did Things My Way I might be young but i am old for my years i have had my up and my downs shed my share of tears most look at me and judge by the my look or my style they dont try to get to know me and come sit and talk for a while they just see my hair my tattoos, and my scars they say look at that white trash he'll never go far just a lonely southern rebel trapped in a Yankee land living week to week Surviving when i can they say he's just a hippie and he aint got no class well thats when i tell every one of them that they can just kiss my ![]() cuz i worked hard for what i got and i did it my own way no one ever believed in me no one gave me the time of day but how do you like me know baby this angels gonna hit it big went out and taught myself guitar now playing for hundreds at a gig i play an old guitar from nine to a half past one just trying to make a living watching everyone else have fun just writing songs and playing and having a ball working on my way to NYC and Carnegie hall my look might not be country and thats hated by some but mark my words I'm going platinum i also am quite a poet though you wouldn’t know its true cuz yall told me my writings scary cuz it was just to deep for you they said stop writing that stuff and write about happier things like flowers and bees and nature and how the robins sing but i wrote about my real life and no one liked that much they were scared of it said that it was all to much they didnt want to see the truth life threw the ghettos eyes they were all to busy in suburbia anything dark they would disguise I’m one in a million there aint another like me i like from Kid Rock to metallica from hank jr to D.R.E. life aint always been easy but i wouldnt change it if i tired cuz it made me the man i am today it gave me what i am inside it gave me my heart that i wear on my sleeve it might look broken but dont let looks deceive for its as strong as ever and getting stronger by the day no one can stop me know nothing will get in my way my dreamz will be reality and i know that to be true and i will survive no matter what i do so to those who doubted me then and the ones that doubt me still yall better back up cuz i got dreamz to fulfill this angels coming threw and i aint slowing down you will never rob my smile again you will never make me frown no matter what i do in life least i can always say i did it by myself and i always did things my way... Jesse C. Jaymz Its just another heartache |

Hi Jesse! Nice to meet you. Let me just say that this is fantastic! I have much respect for you for doing things your way and going the extra mile when everyone thought you would quit! In this world, there are always going to be people who try to bring you down, but don't ever let them! you have far too much potential to stop now! If people can't take the time to get to know you on the inside, then they aren't worth it, everyone deserves a fair chance without being stereotyped. Wow I'm sorry to keep rambling on, but this is the best write I have read all day...its direct and honest. You must get to a comp and post more often!!! Joanna |

Yay....you go Jesse. This is a great write. It’s honest, it’s true...and if that’s you, then you just keeping shining!!! You keep following those dreams and don’t let nothing or nobody stand in your way. I have to say that I absolutely love this piece. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

just a lonely southern rebel trapped in a Yankee land I love those lines..*s and don't let them ever get you down Jesse..I enjoyed the read. However you look is your own style. No matter who we are and how we look there is always someone out there who wants to judge us. Usually they are the ones who have low self-esteem and want to try and bring you down. Don't let them do that to you...you have a great spirit. Nice to see you back. ~Wynter "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |

Jesse, I'm glad to hear that you are having a good time in Va. This is another great write from you, my friend. I'm so happy that you did share your life stories with us through your poetry. It was through these poems that I came to learn about and love you as the friend you have been to me for almost a year now. The people that can't look past the long hair, scars and tatoos are the ones that are missing out. Sometimes we forget the people who really do understand the true paths we are yearning to take. Your dreams can come true anywhere because of who you are, not because of where you are. Missing you a lot, Dawn |

Hey Jessie, Its hard that people forget that how we look on the outside is just a cover. And most of the time the cover is created to fit what others want it to look like, hiding the real person we are inside. Not many people get to see the real (us) and I thank you for letting us inside. Loved your work.. {{{{ and remember us when you hit the world sky high ;-) }}}}} Fee Expressions, |

How many curves is a mountain allowed, when a man has a dream to fufill. How many eyes will it take till they see, an army of words rebelling destiny. How many rocks of remorse can be thrown by those not willing to understand. You answer this here within words so deep, A soul of desire, and wisdom to seep. Your poem somehow inspired this one, not sure how actually but it did ![]() |

Hi Jesse, glad to see you and read you again, cuz there's only one of you sweet guy. I probably will never hear, but if you play the guitar like you write your words, I'm sure I'd like it. Keep the good wor(d)(k)s going. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
