Don'T Follow Me Poem by Marcellus Watts

Don'T Follow Me



I'm a person in bad shoes
I'm a person whose shoes
You'd never want to be in
Depending on your point of view
I'm not a person to look up to
I'm not a role model
I don't make kids smile
I only make them cry
I only disappoint adults and peers
They shake their humble heads at me
Looking down on me
Throwing their judgmental glares at me
I've sin and ruined relationships and events
I'm "that guy"
So don't follow me
Never take after me
Just leave me on my own
Leave me in my own mess of ruin
Never hail me a hero
Not even a good person
I'm far from any of that
I'm stained and polluted
So don't follow me
Never try to follow me
I'm a disappointment
To those around me
So never follow me
Never look up to me
It's a laughable thought
"Don't follow "that guy""
"He's a hazard"
"Carbon monoxide is safer than he is"
They all say
So don't follow me
Never ever try
Don't take after me
Leave me on my own
So don't follow me
Stay away from "that guy"

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A poem i wrote when just thinking about something i hear alot which annoys me. 'Make a good example for others' Like really isn't that silly? you think about the things you do and know you wouldn't want people around you following your 'example'. I didn't mean to make it as depressing as it sounds just saying i don't want to be a role model or have that kind of pressure on me.
