swagger
you walk you talk, its empty
you think you drink, its empty
what passes through your head when I walk by,
most likely nothing
what passes through your head at all. there's something there but I don’t understand it
I cant understand it
it doesn’t work
your thoughts seem so alien yet so familiar
the things you don’t know and don’t comprehend
and the things I don’t know and cannot comprehend about you
nothing works
you gossip
you keep it on the inside
and you swagger
its empty
I swagger
what do you see
you see me
what do you see in me,
shit if I know
what do I see in you
almost a person, seemingly unaware of everything
seemingly unaware of what could be
unaware of how we could change everything
but you stay back
u say you cant do anything
I swagger
I can do everything are you coming along?
probably not
doubt is what u make inside me
you make me doubt me
I cant doubt me
I swagger
if your not going to help hold your tongue
if you have a voice I’m all ears
lend me your voice, we must be heard
there shouldn’t be a you and I
we swagger

Wow, amazing Max. I'm so

Wow, amazing Max. I'm so happy that you are posting! One thing though, you might want to go back and just change your "u"s to "you"s, otherwise it seems to take away from your great poem. Wonderful darlin'.
