I see beyond the clouds!



Every time I overthink, I crash!
What works for you may make me mad!
Rather than to go insane in a place not for me, I've spent more time building a life made to bring out the best I see!
A dreamer I am true indeed, yet the nightmares do come, so I stay in reality!
Some people dwell where it's cold and good for you.
I won't know!
My own shaking reminds me to leave you alone!
Still others believe everyone should eat the same things!
Our lunches were not made the same!
If I ate yours I'd just grow sick and get weak!
Still sad this next one is for me, but true.
I do not work just to give you!
No matter who you are with the hateful stares, mother or brother, you are not my friend!
You people think you're better, yet I really live!
Keep your churches your courts, your liars.
 We are not friends!
Some lie to all others to pull them just down!
While their ideas are still better!
Jealousy, it is not something profound!
I owe you nothing, you are a murderer and a snake! This earth should just curse some.
You're the reason there's hate!
I will not fold or tell lies to you!
One person makes all the difference.
Keep going and achieving your goals!
You are worth it.
These lies are just cruel!
What keeps my blood boiling and angry in every way is when I see others hurting while some look at them and forsake!
Truth be told, you are no better than me!
 A human black widow who should be thrown at a tree! So there you go, the karma you gave!
Returned to you on purpose, I danced on some's grave! My friends call me Devon, yet to you, it's Mr. Bates!
Go your own way!
I need not of your hate!
