I'm on TOP of MY Game THIS Time Around!
I'm On TOP of MY Game THIS Time Around
A Poem
You think you have me all figured out,
And that's just what I want you to think-
But I can assure you without a doubt;
That nothing is what you think!
~
You've taught me a lot from my own mistakes,
And from that I managed to learn-
That with every little step that I seem to take;
I can guarantee I'm not going to be the one burned!
~
I've let you in so many times before,
Always giving you chance after chance-
But this time I'm not the revolving door;
It's a different circumstance!
~
You want ME to change my ways,
You want ME to undo ALL the wrongs-
You want ME to be the one that says:
It's always ME saying the same old songs!
~
That's all it's ever been about,
YOU making a fool out of ME-
And then I'm the one who speaks out;
And I realized that's all it's ever going to be!
~
YOU want what is best for YOU,
YOU don't care WHO you hurt along the way-
It doesn't matter if anyone gets her too;
Just so long as you have your fame everyday!
~
You've made your peace with the Planet,
You're happy with your choices-
For you nothing can get better-can it?
Are you listening to your inner voices?
~
You have caused so much pain,
And not just to me and you know it-
But what else have you gained?
This fame is all you want to show for it?
~
I've never seen someone rearrange truths like you,
I've never seen someone survive on pain-
I've never seen someone who's been so blue;
And I've never seen someone act so insane!
~
But you've managed to pull it all off somehow,
Heart break, hatred, everything bad you can ever recall-
Turned into your own GOLD MINE-into your own lil show;
And made everyone else around you appalled!
~
You might think YOU have them fooled,
But everyone knows better by now-
They just don't want to be too cruel;
Because they know you will have a royal cow!
~
And if they open their mouth to you,
They know what you can be like-
So they'd just rather deal with you too;
Rather than create something that isn't right!
~
Your name should come with a warning,
Your fame is as fake as your friendship and love-
I'm sick of you acting like you're nothing but charming;
It's time reality gave you a shove!
~
You are nothing like you pretend,
For those that believe that you are-
Need a swift kick in the rear-end;
Because you aren't anything but a farce!
~
Someday word will REALLY get out,
And when it does I will be right there-
I will be the one laughing while you pout;
I will be the one smiling while you swear!
~
You might have ruined me once or twice,
But you will never ruin me again-
Your time is coming and it won't be nice;
And then it will be my name on your lips yet again!
~
But I promise you,
The next time you say my name-
It will ALL be TRUE;
Because you will not ruin my game!
~
:-P
YOU have put me on TOP of my game this time around!
If anything is going to happen-
It won't be ME landing on the ground;
I promise you, I will NOT lose to YOU this time around!
:-P
