I am an artist
I can't shut out the noise
You all want a piece of me
Kill the spirit of the art
Make me a sign
Draw me a fish
No life in the art

I am a writer
Never acknowledged for my talent
Teacher says mom did my homework
When was the rule written
That said you have to be popular to be smart?
See me as I am
Not as you think I am

I am a person
Not to be ignored
Who do you see, dad
When you look at me?
A shadow of me
Who you want me to be
Love ME

I am an individual
Not to be coddled
Mom you're overprotective
Release me from the womb
I've long since left your body
Allow me to become myself
Let me fly

I am Ryan Waege. I have posted previously on this site, and had this really poetic rush last night and when I came here to post my poem, I was surprised to find that poetry is no longer being accepted! I understand, however, and I still got my poem up, so this site is still one of my favorites. Thanks for the praise.

Very Nice. I really like this one....glad to have you here JustinPain.

Breaking out and making people see the "true" you is the hardest thing to do.
Keep holding onto; and being the real you and people will see it soon enough.
