Brandon Smith Poems

I am I
Do not change me
Condemn me nor put me down
Accept me for what I am
...

Soldiers standing strong
standing to protect us all
Never giving up faith
never quitting on us
...

It isn't everyday
That an angel arrives
It isn't everyday
That my heart can be freed
...

Sitting in an empty room
Thinking all the wrong things
How can I steal?
How much can I sniff?
...

What happened to me?
Why am I this way?
What should I do now?
Everything I once loved
...

Sometimes I'd die
Sometimes I'd cry
But at the end
I never knew why
...

Brandon Smith Biography

Well, there's not much to say, really. I've always been an easygoing person, whether it was beneficial or not. I've always enjoyed helping people when I could, and never really asked for anything in return. I've been on the streets, and living the streetlife for over six years now, but it's normal to me. Having just about nothing, I've realized that things won't always be handed to you. I've always taken things for granted, like housing, food, and even water. You won't always have it. Living on the streets since thirteen, I've learned how to take care of myself, and manage my own life. Some would say I've given up. I haven't. I always try to do as best as I can, but sometimes even that's not enough. I don't let anything hold me back now, and I just keep pushing. My motivation, and reasoning behind writing the poetry I do, is because I want other troubled teenagers, and people who think they're alone in life...to realize something. You're never alone in life. You always have somebody who knows how you feel, or what you're going through. Just keep in mind, you're not the only one. Keep fighting, and don't give up. Hence my quote. 'Live life like a river. Go where it takes you and never look back.' Yes, I live by the quote, and it's a great one to live by. Enjoy my poems, if you read them! ~Shade~)

The Best Poem Of Brandon Smith

Accept Me

I am I
Do not change me
Condemn me nor put me down
Accept me for what I am
No, you need not agree with me
But accept me
I have my faults and I have my guilts
But that is only who I am
Perfect is something I will never be
Allow me to be uninhibited
Do not persuade me into feeling
What I do not feel
Accept me when I am flying high
As I have accepted you
When you were flying high
Do not insult me
Nor make me feel unhappy
I am I
And I enjoy being what I am
~ME~
