About Time

Dusk is over, darkness shrouds the land
my time is now
searching the shadows for the soul akin to mine

avoiding glances and comments
of the foolhardy and ignorant
silently despising them

I have the hate enough for many life times
and take more as each day passes
but I am not as bitter as I let on

I try to smile in the face of adversity
even laugh at it
like me or hate me

I am here
get used to it
cause I ain't going anywhere

deal with it or shut up
kick me while I am down
I'll get back up

try to keep me down now
kick me, stomp me
I will get back to my feet

I refuse to be a speck in reality
I make my stand
everything starts here
