No Longer The Same

7/18/11

"What's gotten into you?"

You're no longer the 

Same girl you use to be,

You now hold your head up high

And you speak your mind,

Why are you no longer the same?

I like the old you

That did stuff to satisfy everyone else's needs

You did it without question, 

I don't like the new you,

Because you're no longer the same

And I can't control everything you do...

Author's Note

Inspired by the book My Life As A Doormat in the perspective of the boyfriend who doesn't like the changes his girlfriend endures. Honest reviews.

Good form, structure and well written, but it seemed to lack the 'umph' some of your other work does. That indefinable something that set's your work apart from the norm. If I could put my finger on what it was I would tell you, but you definatley have it

Well done! This is very well written. However, I do have to point out that some of the lines are lacking that bit of power you want them to. To fix it, I suggest bringing more lines of angst, maybe? Angry or upset? I don't know. I'm not a poet. :D Great work!

This one is great and one of my favorites out of your work.

The words that you have chosen give the piece a very pointed feel. As if the writer is disgusted by what the other has become. The emotion comes acrost so strongly that the piece is gripping. Exceptionally written!

Another empowering write, no woman should allow her self to be a door mat, this was a breath of fresh air from the "I would do anything to have you" poetry you seem to see alot of!

[Becky C Strukamp]

A powerful statement here. You pen well. Nice work.

[Lily Mae]

To many times people try to appease someone thinking it will get them to stay..and in the end they lose.. It's always best to be 100% you all the time.. Great write..xx

'I can't control everything you do'... This poem shows the negative of the speaker....interesting concept.
