live my life

i wish everyone would leave me alone
ive gotta be thin
witty
pretty
and propper
fun to be around
if i frown or if i cry
everyone questions why and trys to tell me what i should do
would you please leave me alone
can you go home
and let me deal with my life
cause from here
youre not free from strife
and you cant tell me how to live my life
when you are not me
so let me be free
from all this stagnant energy
that holds these nails in my coffin
but im wrong , you tell me that often

Rebel or denounce societal expectations and you become a pariah, by our infantile society's outlook. Everyone wants to tell you what to do, but they won't help. They have expectations. Be yourself, and always true to what you believe. Very nice phrases and punchy verbal backlashes...honesty comes through, also discontent.

Sorry, but I have to be truthful...you're also very beautiful. How old is the little one?

succinct and sylistically emphatic. It exposes vanity and preoccupation on many levels...
I got your request and added you to my list and hopefully joined yours...have a look at some of my stuff and let me know what you think...I'll look at your other poems when I don't have 4 web sites to design and people breathing down my neck that know nothing about computers or what makes a web site...like, it's not just a letter you type, but try to explain that in simple terms to simpletons. adieu

Sounds somewhat odd as a cry for freedom, might need development to explain more. As a poem though seems fine and I like it.

nice poem, but it reads bettter if you start at 'i've gotta be thin' rather than the first line, which you repeat later on anyway. i especially liked the rhythm of the first few lines.

"The Ashanti Raider"

by Nicholas Jakari



The Raider is a valuable mask from the Great Lakes region of Central Africa made available to trade for guns. Then it's stolen. Its owner enlists a random collection of movie extras to get it back. Action is graphic. Imagery lurid. Not recommended for gentle readers.
