Im Real

I'm a skilled lyricist in the shower,

adorning my hair there will be a flower.

Fire locks, spotted complexion-my breed will soon be extinct.

I'm a walking contradiction, don't even attempt to make a prediction-

on the greatness I will achieve.

Sensitive and stubborn,

thoughtful and impulsive,

strong and weak,

goofy and stale faced.

Think you can box me in?

Think again.

I own up to my mistakes

side step the fakes,

everyday I test myself and raise the stakes

so that nobody will forget that Katie is willing

to do whatever it takes

to fulfill her dreams.

I am flawed to perfection,

grow and learn from each lesson.

My independence is more then most men can take-

my resistance to their climbing into my womb

is so often met with defense.

Sweet boy, I cannot be her, I can only be me,

But wait and you'll see what an amazing gift that can be.

Stop trying to own me and control me,

tame me and contain me,

because i will resist the clench within your fist.

When you judge me or begrudge me,

each time you test me and underestimate me,

lie to me and beguile me-

I grow stronger.

I am the silent dragon,

my force greater then anything you could muster or imagine.

My only kryptonite is myself.

My only temptations are my love of exploration and the exploration of love.

I am not concerned with your accumulation of wealth.

My gifts lie in my mind

and my ability to leave the past behind

and while surpassing the grind of the mundane,

higher paths I will find.

My energy flows with passion and vigor

from the depths of my soul down through each painted finger.

My higher self lies on a realm above our media culture and the ravenous creatures acting as vultures,

flying around trying to tear us down

and keep us from our imminent crown.

The moon is my guide

even when my stars hide

and my sun confides-

her doubt.

I will pave my own route, and don't dare ask me to find new words to spout.

I demand respect and quality,

look on with disdain at your adoration of

quantity over quality.

because of the falsities you idolize

it is with you, I empathize.
