one of my oldest poems
Who am I

I'm the one you tease
Cause I'm different
I'm the one you bother
Cause I'm just there
I'm the mat you step on.
I'm the rock you kick around
and you think you can control me.
Like I'm the clay and you're the sculptor.
Like I'm the robot and you press my buttons.
But you can't control me.
I may be nothing as you say.
But your words don't mean jack to me.
I am somebody.
Sooner or later you'll see me on the street
With my head up high
While you're eating my dust.
And I'll be wondering,
Who's laughing now!
