When you don't know
when you have to ask,
When you want to be told.
When i ask you,
Who you are.

Your never quite sure
Of your purpous.
You really don't know
The grand scheme of it all.

I know, I know, I know.
It's all a scam.

What you call your life,
Who you call your friends,
What you call your reason,
When you call your time.

It's all a scam to me,
Your a big lie to me,
And you call me a freak?

Well at least i know
Who it is i am.

Heyyyy this is great I just have to correct your grammar! lol...2nd stanza 1st line "Your" should be "you're" (contraction of you are, whereas your, like in the 2nd line of that stanza, is the possessive of you). Also in the 2nd stanza, "purpous" should be "purpose" (spellcheck is a wonderful thing, my friend). That's pretty much it...Really liked this poem, might favorite it!

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.


Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. ~Benjamin Disraeli


Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss


Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong. ~Peter T. Mcintyre

It was good, though it could have more flow.

I know what you're talking about and you described well. The way you wrote this it could be song lyrics. It's cool.
