Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil is Very Interesting. I didn’t know that She Self Identified as Queer. I support that Completely!!! I’m Gay and Proud of it Very Much. I support Transgender Humans and Sympathize with the Internal Struggles They Live with. Gender Dysphoria is something that I am Intentionally Learning about through YouTube Videos. I don’t Struggle with those Specific Identity issues. However, I will let You know from My Own Experiences. Being Gay, is Absolutely Not a Simple way To Self Identity Either. Choosing not to Be Who I Authentically Am, is even more of a Struggle and Psychological War for Me. The Demi Lovato Dancing 💃 With The Devil Was Very Informative To My Personal Brain 🧠

You asked

Our opinions

You asked

To be critiqued

When I

Tell you

The Truth

You get

Mad

At me

I ain't

Pickin on you

No malice

In my words

Yet

You get

Super sensitive

After

You read

My words

If you

Can't handle

Honesty

Then step

To the

Side

Honesty

Will

Help you

Why

Would I lie

Short Term

---------------

I’m makin’

Short term goals

As my future unfolds

Will I get paid

In silver?

Greenbacks

Or Gold?

How I’ll get there

Is a story

That remains untold

In my right hand

It’s a pen that I hold

I write my own story

As

My history unfolds

Is a story

Currently being written

Each day I awake

And my pen

Stays on the pad

Because

Breaks I don’t take

I’m steady on the grind

Each day I awake

In love with

The rhymes

My mind creates

So Far

----------

So far so good

No hype man

And no mic

No ghostwriters either

Left instruments behind

All of these rhymes

Come straight from

My mind

When and where this will

Take me

I’m eager to find

Imagine the places I could go

If they gave me a mic

I’d rock the crowd

From left to the right

Have them

Shouting my name

All day

And all night

Until the day finally came

That me and my name

Were in

The spotlight

No Spitting

---------------

I don’t

Spit game

Cause

I could

Talk that

Spit your

Corny lines

Best believe

I could

Top that

With my

Vocab so

Eloquent

So much game

That

I’m sellin’ it

Go by

One

Name

Call me

Elegance

Straight truth

Not braggadocios

I’m Your

Granddads’ hero

And he

Knows this

I'm Out

---------

That’s it

I quit

Sayonara

So long

I obviously

Wasn’t enough

For you

So I’m

Moving on

Your eyes

Were your tell

Following guys

Left

And

Right

Silently telling

Me so long

It took

Me a while

To hear

But now

The message

Is loud

And clear

Whatever it is

That you’re

Looking for

It obviously

Isn’t here

I’m more hurt

Than betrayed

Feel like

I’ve wasted

My days

But I

Will no longer

Obstruct your view

And let

Your prince

Get away

We weren’t

Meant to be

I finally see

As I

Tried to

Hold on

You just

Wanted to

Be free

So unchain

Yourself from me

I don’t care

To be

The one

Who

Stands between

Yourself

And happy

Him

------

He was

Tall, fair skinned, intelligent, and mine

In the race for first place

He left

All others behind

Capsuled in my arms

He didn’t

Fight to get away

Right there

Against my chest

He was happy

To stay

Some of you

May find this difficult

To wrap your head

Around it

But y’all

Sweat the small stuff

He’s the other

Half of

My soul

And I’m so glad

I found it

Now comes

The tough part

Can our relationship

Withstand it

Or will

We wither away

Like Pluto

Which is no longer a planet

I believe

I have faith

And a surplus

Of conviction

Say whatever you may

Through it all I’m staying

With him

Some of you

May find this difficult

To wrap your head

Around it

But y’all

Sweat the small stuff

He’s the other

Half of

My soul

And I’m so glad

I found it

The day has finally come

For us to begin a new life

Pride

Respect

And devotion

Y’all need a new life

We’ve talked about kids

Where we’ll live

The whole nine yards

What’s mine is his

And what’s his

Becomes ours

It’s the year 2014

Y’all need to get with

The times

Leave your prior notions

In the past

And

Leave ‘em behind

Some of you

May find this difficult

To wrap your head

Around it

But y’all

Sweat the small stuff

He’s the other

Half of

My soul

And I’m so glad

I found it

Everyone's life is different

even twins who look the same

like identical twins same face

different name

their life experiences will be similar

though not the same

each will face different challenges

some will be lost

and others they over came

different life situations

some spectacular

others mundane

one may become a mill worker

where usually everyday is the same

the other could

become a superstar

with millions upon billions

screaming your name

the point of this poem is to illustrate

that nobody's the same

I hope that I got that point across

to you

oh and by the way

Brooks is my name

I saw you in class

just the other day

since then my memory of your flawless face just

won't fade away

now I'm not all about the physical

though it does matter to a point

I'm more impressed by

humor

intellect

respect

and manners

if you want to earn more points

as of now

your orientation is unclear to me

are you attracted to the ladies?

or is there something in guys that turns your key

I've got your full attention for the moment

do you like what you see

do you want to browse around

or spend more time here with me

I see and respect the challengers from the other side

and I respect them very much

this is just a fore warning

I play for keeps

not to get crushed

now that I've got you here alone

just you and I

I've got a series of questions for you

are you gay?

straight?

or bi?

Cut the music

And kill thebeat

Because I don't need 'em

They trap me in a cage

And I want freedom

So I burst the drums

And I kill the keyboard

Freedom from my musical chains is my reward

Now let's see

What do I want to talk about today?

Debt

Sweat

Going to work and getting paid

My mind declines these four options

I'd rather talk about something that I deal with

Far more often

Being gay

And all of the options

Who to date?

How old or how young?

What ethnicity appeals to you?

And where to find 'em?

I'm all out of spoken words

So I'll end the poem here

I want to read your opinions

So please send them here

I want to kiss you more than ever

until my lips fade away

love you forever

and a day

your physique will change

but that won't bother me

my love for you will remain

like a boat anchored in the sea

we'll have our ups and downs

like every other couple

but through all the yelling and screaming

you'll know that I still love you

I'm tired of playing games

I'm ready to settle down

no more flirting and games

I only want you around

and it's true I want your head to be adorned with my kings crown

I meet your family

And they're cool

You've met mine as well

You've met the five of them

And things seem to be going well

The only question we all have is how soon until we hear wedding bells

I'm tired of playing games I'm ready to settle down

no more flirting and games

I only want you around

And it's true

I want your head to be adorned with my king's crown

Marriage is fraught with expectations and responsibilities

instead we chose the alternate route

a partnership that provides companionship and stability

It puts our minds at ease

I'll handle certain things

And I'll be there to catch him

Whenever he falls

I certainly don't want my Man

Or any woman

To have to do it all

I want to kiss you more than ever

until my lips fade away

love you forever

and a day

your physique will change

but that won't bother me

my love for you will remain

like a boat anchored in the sea

we'll have our ups and downs

like every other couple

yet through all the yelling and screaming

you'll know that I still love you

Listen with your heart

It will rarely lead you astray

Listen every morning

Noon

Night and day

Now the science of logic would say that

Acting solely on emotion is illogical

And I'd have to agree

But I'd have to ask you

How many logicians are happy

Healthy

And content with their lives?

If the answer was slim to none

I'd fail to be surprised

Listen with your heart

So you won't become one of these ladies or guys

Listening with your heart may sound foolish to some

Making risks and taking chances

Is the only way this game of life can be won

If Heaven was a mile away

I'd have my satchel waiting by the gate

I'd be overly anxious to get in

Because I hate to wait

I'd be on pins and needles

To get behind those pearly gates

But beyond the pearls

I'd wonder what awaits
