The World Is My Stop Poem by Marcellus Watts

I watch a film
Everyone laughs…
I don't
I'm different from others
I'm not a freak
I'm not a weirdo
I'm a realist
I know the truth of death
I'm just not like everyone else
Everyone goes on to ignorance
They all go on to peer pressure
Everyone goes on to hypocrisy
This is my stop…
The world
The place where life rules
A place where money makes it revolve
The place where you can do anything
With its consequences and rewards
I've got to get off
I have to be real
I have to let people know what I'm about
No matter if I'm corrected
If I have to compromise what I believe in
That's how the world is
Ying and yang
Fake and real
This is my stop
I've got to get off
Excuse me… I'm not like you
Excuse me… I'm different
Excuse me… the world is my stop
