do it or don’t do it…
scream to live, or meekly die.
stand tall, or sit and watch teevee.
be strong, or don’t.
don’t ever TRY–do it, or don’t.
there is no try in my mind, i either do it, or i don’t.
i didn’t do it tonight.
i will.
i screamed with a rebel yell at the contradiction, and the lack of information.
what more can i do? try?
no.
i WILL do it, or it will not be done by anyone.
i will stand strong, or it will not be done by anyone.
i am the small fish in the ocean.
i WILL be the big fish.
or i won’t.
i will.
like billy idol says–”i’ll walk with a natural glide”
and it will be done.
why do i miss you?
i do.
do i try?
no.
i do what i am asked to do.
if not, then it is not done.
but i never “try” to do it.
i either do it, or not.
i need a straight path though.
i need to know the way to get it done.
i know it is read.
i can’t do it alone.
i’ve got feelings too.
yes, i do.
i wonder how i can be with someone.
i wonder how i can make them as happy as they make me.
i wonder how i can treat them the way that they treat me.
but i can’t…sometimes, i don’t want to.
sometimes i fall, and i need to be picked up.
catch my fall.
either do it, or don’t.
but don’t “try” to catch me.
all i want is for me to be acknowledged
that i am doing what has been asked of me.
i can’t get it.
so i must not be.
maybe that means i do it for myself?
no.
if i only did it for me, i never would do it.
i do it because i have to.
i do it because you asked me to.
nothing i do is for me.
i stand tall for you.
i “do” what you need me to do.

may be wrong, but i do what i think is right.
i won’t try ever again–i will either do it, or not.
but i need help.

visit my world, or don’t.
don’t “try” to understand it.

give me respect, or give the extreme opposite.
don’t give me the fake shit that i’ve been getting.

all i want is a straight tongue…
a tongue that can set me free.

a tongue that’s not afraid to tell me when i’ve fucked up.
not afraid to tell me how it should be when i am wrong.

not afraid to tell me what they feel.

sometimes it feels hopeless—–i do what i think is right, only to be wrong. i haven’t done it.
i WILL do it.

i owe it.
i do not because i owe, but because i can’t quit.
not because i have to, i want to.

i don’t ask much.
i want fairness.

i want a fair dialogue.
i want a fair consciousness.

do it, or don’t.

but don’t give me something, then take it away.
don’t give me something, then change it.

give me truth.
give me respect.
give me compassion.
give me America.

i have earned it.
i’ve done whatever has been asked of me.
stubborn though i am, i always make room
and time for it.
always make room for you comfort.
always make time for your tears.
always make time for your voice.
always make time for your thoughts.
always do what you ask me to do.

can i be blamed for being wrong?
no.
i do it.
if i didn’t care, i wouldn’t do it.
wouldn’t be here now if i didn’t care about it.

i will do it.
i will do it well.
but i will not change your mind…that is up to you.
