Not Anybody's Prodigy
I’ll never rely on anyone
to show me how to fly
I see what I want and take it
then I attack the sky
I don’t want to be sophisticated
not interested in growing old
If growing up means confirming
then refer to me as forever young
surely I’m no image of perfection
I crave to touch on sensual flesh
my thoughts go to dirty places
but only when around a beautiful mind
not trying to be an internet player
have some fat girl spread out on a computer screen
I’m not smooth enough to be such a mind fuck
rather have a love affair with poetry
yeah, I can be disrespectful
I’m not trying to be anybody’s prodigy
I’ll gladly take on the title “asshole”
takes one to know one, is what I say
like a rose that grew from concrete
worked my way through the cracks
I long for the youth of yesterday
no labels, just owning one’s own glory

Great poem, DC! I really enjoyed this one!
rather have a love affair with poetry > this line stood out for me!
You're not an asshole and you're definitely not disrespectful,
you have a beautiful mind and soul... never forget that!
