so gradually
the pretty
boy
his Father
told him he was
not -
in the biggest " FUCK YOU "
the world ever
saw -
and I know what it means -
from whence it
comes -
and I know the
heart
in one who would sing
and become
KING -
when he reeled and
rocked
from soul-less
shocks
and propelled from the
floor
with an awesome
roar
and an impish
grin -
yes he showed him -
yes he did
too -
wouldn't you ?
Then again maybe NOT ???
But didn't you ? Too ???
I could swear that was
you -
someone lied to you too -
and then
what did you do
when they scarred you
for life
and made you feel ugly and
worthless - like they did on the inside ?
So perhaps you believe he could have
should have
let it
roll off -
like your ego imagines you would -
and what's wrong with some of us ?
who don't have a
duck
back
you may query
but
true KINGS lead with
hearts
of utmost
integrity
despite the fated heavy hand
that holds the torch
of self-loathing and
sears the Spirit
to a
silent
scream !!!
I know what it means -
to be ruled by
excesses
of excessive
rule
and to be used as a
tool
and to rock
reel
spin
and drop
to a knee
and jump from
a toe
and know
Tinker Bell is always
nearby and
Pan
is just a state of
mind
of the hardest kind
until you grow-up
willingly
and come out the other
side -
and I know
what it means to
change like the seasons -
all the reasons -
recreating from past ashes -
how to re-do the
" do " and do/don't/do/don't/do/don't do do
more frequently perhaps
than the average
YOU -
and what it is to hate my eyes nose toes
and hair - DON't EVEN GO THERE!
And I changed my last name
more often than some change their
underwear
but
I refuse to
succumb -
to become
what I hate -
refusing
the bait
finally -
and I'm finally okay with
me -
hair and all
and the name I was born with
that I disliked most of all
but what a pity -
que lastima pobrecito -
Michael Jackson
paid a high price
for believing the
lie
and paid with his life to be
free
finally . . .
