Iris

A Poem by bringthestoke
"

Ever since I could remember, Iris by the GooGoo Dolls has been a favorite of mine, but I would never tell people that. It's a soft song, and it means alot to anyone who's willing to give it a listen.

"
I don't want the world to see me,
because I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.


I don't want people to see me
Like I'm some average kid
Who skates
And looks like a stoner

I don't want people to treat me
Like I'm their "bud"
Who follows them around
And gives in to their every request

I don't want people to talk about me
Like I'm some a*****e
Who hurts feelings
And ignores people because I'm too cool

I don't want people to look at me
Like I'm this hollowed body
Because I'm not.

I am strong,
I am dedicated,
And I am passionate.
I am kind,
I am content,
And I am smart.
I am who I want to be,
And if you can't accept me for me,
Instead of what you see,
Then f**k you
And let me be.

The song is quite remarkable. It always meant a lot to me. It's one of those songs I never hear people talk about, so I've never told anyone I liked it either.

I like how this song inspired you. This poem is really a great response to it. Your voice in your poetry (your ability to rhyme and make everything flow so smoothly) is an incredible talent. Awesome work.

I thought this was going to be a sad poem and was So pleasantly surprised! I know you are the most wonderful human being I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Everyone else is missing out.
