Verses in Freedom
My first "free verse" poem. Tell me what you think:)

Many people say I have talent,
I do not believe them totally
'cause technically the truest talents are the ones I have
but they don't really make much sense to me.
Even though I am different,
even though I feel and want and must be different,
everybody wants to be just like everybody
but what am I to say you're wrong 'bout that.

Sometimes I feel the need to scream.
"WHAAAAAAAAAT?" you must be asking,
you prob'ly think I'm crazy!
Hah, I know I ain't crazy,
sometimes I feel life-sick,
yeah, you heard me.
I's about to run to Church when the tele-phone rang
ah dang man I said as I picked up the phone when his head came through the line.

I thought I's gonna die of shock but I decided t' make a stand
ah but what do I know, I ain't Blind Willie McTell,
oh what am I gonna do with this harmonica-rack thing,
I don't know what the heck it is, well, I guess I do,
but that ain't the point, the point I'm trying to make is-
if you can be who you wanna be without tryin' t' please anyone,
then you've done what only the rebels of society have ever done,
hah, ain't that just great?
Man, I despise the status-uhh, quo, hah, I think it likes me though.
