Two Jumps ahead And You Still Don't Get Me.

I wrote this poem of mine on the fly and I was inspire by a talk I had with a friend of mine. I don't really know what it all means but the gist of it is about judgemental people. However you interpret it I think you'll enjoy it.


Run, run, run.
Go, go, go.
You have your life in order
and you think your better
than me.

Meanwhile back at the ranch,
I'm living life at the fullest.
You say I'm not and I'm
playing the fool but you
don't know me so more
fool you.

You look back and feel
satisfied. I look ahead
and ride, ride.
The future ahead of
me and you can only
see behind?

Are you really satisfied?

One jump ahead and you
still don't get me. Will you
believe that you still have
the power to upset me?

I know who I am, and where
I want to be. So why don't you
mind your business and just
let me be?

When you think your way ahead
of me, look down in front.
I'm the girl that's waving hi and
you just grunt.

I'm a fool, I'm an idiot, but with my
mistakes I'm ten time wiser than
you and I've got what it takes.
To survive, to thrive, to stay alive,
and while your feeling smug just
think of this; things stand the test
of time the longer it takes.

You wanna it done fast or do you
wanna it done right? My life is my
life, it's gonna be tight. So while
your two steps ahead and think
your perfect. I think you have
a lot to learn. Why don't you take
time to learn it?

Instead of judging me, criticising me,
and telling me I'm stupid take the
timber out of your eye and build
a house that's useful.

While your one step ahead of the game
while not knowing the rules and I'm
making the rules up as I go along.
Who's right? Who's wrong?

We'll find out later and don't be surprise
if you find me if I win this game of mine.
