So What If I Am Off-Key? Poem by Tyrone Gayle

Some weeks ago, people told me that on my head I have a sponge,
So I bobbed it with a smile like I just had dumpling and butter for lunch,
And like a squid I decided to use my ink to avoid the incoming longe,
Life is a deep blue sea of weirdness and in it I am not afraid to plunge!

Don't go on that lean trampoline with everyone, you might get trample,
You are an ewe and people don't get you, that's a perfect example,
All I see is lies, do your actual self, stop doing the sample,
In the long run like a Kenyan, true happiness will be ample.

That is what I told this eccentric fellow in my mirror,
Because he is dumb at times looking at others and feeling inferior,
Come on! Interest in people's approval is a deadly self imposed terror,
If you're living for a dream team and not the Supreme being, that's an error.
