I'm No Sheep

About being an individual

I’M NO SHEEP

Look at me don’t like what you see? tough! because I’m not a sheep to society

I love my bright colours although I wear black
 my personality is my colour and that’s a fact

Look at me don’t like what you see? tough because I’m not a sheep to society

I love my music heavy as can be
 who says I shouldn’t like it?
 I listen to what I want you don’t control me 

Look at me don’t like what you see? tough because I’m not a sheep to society

I stick out because I’m different
 I want to be me
 who says I’m not the normal one
and your just different from me

 Look at me don’t like what you see? tough because I’m not a sheep to society

I don’t judge people by sex or sexuality
 I believe in free speech and freedom
 be who you want to be 

 Look at me don’t like what you see? tough because I’m not a sheep to society

I don’t like being told how I should act
 or always trying to please other people
Their ambitions I lack
 I'm sorry that’s just not me
I'm Ashley Black an individual not a sheep to society

Pros: I love repetition in a poem, and you repeating that one line was nice. And it made sense to keep repeating it, which is always good. Your rhyme scheme was good and it added an extra flow to the poem, made it easier to read. The story you tell is interesting as well. I must say, this is one of my favorites of yours. I like this style quite a lot. Probably because it's closer to mine, but still, it's nice.

Cons: None that I can see really. Maybe a couple flow hiccups here and there, as well as grammar/punctuation mistakes, but we all make those.

Overall: I like this poem, especially the idea of it. Not giving in to society? Very nice.

Your earlier work was good but I can tell that you improved. Nice poem though, reminds me of myself

I LOVE this piece, I can totally relate to it, how great is it to be an individual live according to your own standards, great job! keep going.

Generally, I don't worry too much about style. Of course a piece has to be written so it's readable and understandable, but I think it's more important to get your message/feel across, and you always do that so well. Love the sentiment here.

NOw this one I like a lot better it plays to the mind much easier .I like to tell people that i use simple words in complex ways .I think that explains this one

This is great. Sound's like something I'd write though....
I really liked this but it's not as dark as some of your later stuff.

I really like this. I think it is very powerful and is beautifully written. I like how you repeat the same line througout the poem, it makes the point come across even stronger, really drives it home! Great poem!
