A/N: Is it plagiarizing if I'm stealing from my own poem?! LOL. Doubt it. But, to satisfy all you english teachers out there, yes I'm blatantly ripping myself off. But I won't sue me so it's ok. This was originally written just for kicks on Deviantart and had nothing to do with TMNT, but when I finished, I looked at it and... it had Mikey written all over it. It's just... him. So I made a minor change and here it is. I don't usually post poetry on fanfic but it was begging to be posted. Besides... I'm putting off pulling out my economics book. Can you REALLY blame me?!
Anyway... I think there's more to Mikey than what we get to see, but he's a little bit of a self-defeatist if he's trying to make that come across. =D
And That's Why
Why do they not see me?
(all of me)
Why do they only see that little part
That I allow to be?
(force into being)
I love to laugh, and to make others laugh
(someone has to do it)
And it's nice to be good at that.
(to be good at something)
Do they know there's more to me?
Do they see anything beyond what I show?
(it's just a show)
Shouldn't someone realize?
Shouldn't someone… anyone… know?
(how should they know)
I'm deeper than that.
I'm more than that.
Why don't they take me seriously?
(Why should they)
I have a deeper side, do you see?
(How can they)
Why does no one see?
(They'll only see what you're willing to show)
…Oh. Yeah. I guess that's true. Huh.
Okay! Hey! Who wants some pizza?! Let's go, dudes!
(And... that's why. That's why they'll never know.)
