Know me

Muddied are the waters
Of afterthought
The bridge's burnt
The rainbows sought

Fickle are the fingers
Of this and that
The who,the what
The where I'm at

I climb, I crawl,
I jump and skip
I'm known for shooting
From the hip

It's no surprise
I say, I do
Like yourself
My point of view

I wrote a poem
I sang a song
The rhythm was off
The words were wrong

I stepped on my own toes
I skipped my own beat
I stood for myself
And then took a seat

Outspoken and broken?
Well....that describes me
Although the outcome
Has yet to be

[R.E. Ray]

Good poem and message! Whether "outspoken" or "broken," a person who conforms to nothing but his/her own character and principles is the person most worth knowing--genuine and true, even if imperfect in the eyes of others. Nice work!
