Michael Dunmore Biography

Born and raised in South Carolina and tossed around from foster home to foster home for most of my life, I have come to accept that nothing can go right because we are all destined to fail. We humans only share one common fate: death. I am looking to stand out from the croud and want to keep my rank and status. My current situation is irritating me because I cannot seem to find anyone out there who values the same high standards I do. I am feeling isolated and want to give in to carnal urges, but I cannot bring myself to appear weak in the eyes of others. I want others to see my unique qualities and character but I cannot stand to come off as needy, so instead, I have an 'I don't care' attitude and I push people away. I turn my back on those who criticize my behavior, but beneath my indifference is a person who is in desperate need of approval. I feel I am getting less than I deserve for all my hard work; however, I make no efforts to change things and try to make the best of the situation. My confidence is low but I am unable to admit that is the reason for my avoidance of conflict. I feel it is a situation that is beyond my control. My arrogance causes me to take offence quickly. Only those closest to me know deep down I am sensitive and sentimental. I struggle with my need for respect and admiration from others; I feel I need to make a name for myself. I am disappointed and let down. I feel there is no point in making new goals as they will leave me feeling the same way. I am act out by refusing to step back, stand down, or take on a minor, insignificant role.)

The Best Poem Of Michael Dunmore

One Day

One day you'll look back on this and regret it
But right now, just forget it
This is something I'm done fighting for
Because I won the battle, but I lost the war
I saw this coming when we were one, not two
Blinded by love, I thought it not to be true
You were my inspiration, you were my drive
But I should've known love had yet to arrive
Every day, every night, the pain grows more
Deep down inside, I'm hurting to the core
Until I'm completely over you
This is what I have to go through
I hope you're happy with the choice you made
Because from this point forward, that's how it stays.
