They and Me

As already announced by me, I have left poetry for sometime to come. This was my last work before I made that decision, just wanted to share it with you guys...

They and Me (by Ahmad Babar):
They don't understand who I am
They refuse to see the man
They are unable to realize
That it's not always about the shiny prize
They can't accept anything different
Their mindsets are just too resilient
They laugh when I speak my mind
I don't care, I am one of a kind
I am different and I am better
I am far above their senseless clatter
Once again they try to laugh at what I say
When will they understand that I live my own way?
Each one of them is hiding a secret inside
Something they are afraid of, something they are forced to hide
I feel pity for them for they cannot see
Poor souls are afraid of being what they could be
They are too scared of coming out of their shells
Fearing the same fate as those who fell
But they forget that the ones who fell trying will be remembered
Because they had stood up and they had endeavored
Today I give them one final call
Come fly, don't be afraid of the big fall
If you won't try you won't learn
Nothing lost, nothing earned
I am on my way, follow if you want to
Today you may laugh, tomorrow you will realize it was all true
