Few see the truth

Some call me a gift from the gates of white
They say I will befriend you with my friendliness and delight
I am not a gift from the holy city
I show kindness to some, while most others don’t; such a pity

Some call me the spawn of an terribly hideous man
They say I will treat you horribly and do evil things throughout my life span
I am not a spawn from the deep dark city
Some see only a flash of a happening and perceive things; such a pity

Some call me a great person; an invincible man
They say I will never waiver under fright, I always have a plan
I am not an invincible man, that is for sure
Some see me stand strong under pressure; yet there perceptions are obscure

Some call me a quitter; a man that will always back out
They say  don’t’ count on him, we can do better without
I am not a quitter, that is for sure
Some see me decide against things that others try to conquer; yet there perceptions are obscure

Some call me a man of great luck; that I’ve been blessed my entire life
They say  go with him, nothing will go wrong, he’s never gone through one day of strife
I am not a man of luck, I’ve had my share of bad fortune and such
They saw me win a prize in life, and they think I always have the lucky touch

Some call me a man of bad omens; one that will cause you to have much grief
They say be weary of him, make your time with him short, be brief
I am not a man that will cause bad things to happen upon you
Some hear about me and an unfortunate event in the same sentence; but they have no clue

No matter what you do, or what you say
People perceptions about you will almost always be in the gray
They believe what the see and hear, but not the blatant truth
Such is human nature, it begins in our youth

I know what I am, and that is neither totally good, nor totally bad
Sometimes I am happy, other times angry, but I cherish every day that I’ve had
I need not worry about every person’s feelings nor perceptions about me
For, I know the truth, I do not make many promises; but that I can guarantee

Its important for the ones you love to see the truth about you
Its important for you, yourself, to know the truth, and what is untrue
That is all, you cannot change others minds; the fact they don’t see the blatant truth
For, so many of them, they grew around such false perceptions in their youth
