My Life

Statement to declare that which is true.. hopefully others find it in themselves to do the same.. be yourself!!!

So you want to make a choice;

you set your sights on me.

Everyone says they want the best;

please just leave me be.

 

It's my own life to live;

if I fall it's my own fault.

Stop opening my scars;

and pouring your salt.

 

If I want to live simple;

this is how I choose to be.

Even though you don't like it;

because I seem so carefree.

 

If you choose to live burden;

I won't judge or bother any of you.

If you have greater needs of things;

that's what you need to do.

 

Please get out of my way;

let me find my own life path.

I've grown rather tired and bored;

have no more time for your wrath.

 

If I want to stay plain or not;

another choice that I make.

I'm simply not going to be molded;

cause I can see that it's fake.

I wonder why accepting people for who they are is so difficult for others? Is it because they lack the courage and freedom to be different from the masses so they work extra hard to pull others into the mass? I also get sick and tired of people trying to change me after they have told me they accept me. If someone accepts you in the beginning then they shouldn't have the need to mold or change you. That means they never accepted you but instead wish to make you into the person they feel you should be instead of the person you are. Stay true to yourself and resist those who want to make you like the rest. Your poem speaks truth I love it.

how intense! Each word seems to be marked with anger and frustration. Each word also seems to stand out and symbolize the meaning and your desire of what life you want to lead. Independent and strongly expressed. And great message that was formed into this interesting creation. Awesome write!!!=]
God bless=]

Previous commenters have said that no one can change us. But honestly, you have to have an inner strength and self confidence to make a statement like that. One could only make a stand like this if they were sure of who they are and what they want. Overall, bravo!!

Liberty comes to mind whilst reading this .... We are who we are...noone can change us...they can try....but can,t succeed. I so love this write...makes me feel that there are good strong women out there to be proud of. Heartfelt. Lovely. Thanks.

Ha-ha~Wonderful write... I call it keeping the vampires out of my life.. The negativity and using that goes with allowing some people in our inner circled can just suck the life energy out of one..
