Be Yourself

Sometimes things are just out of my control...

 

Be Yourself

Your always listening

To what people tell you..

They tell you what to wear,

How to put your makeup on

What shoe style is in and what isn’t
Whats "cute" and whats not

How to do your hair

And then you tell me

That your going to change

Because your boyfriend wants you to

I told you that he should love you the way you are

Not the person that people want you to be

They tried to get me to do the same things as they did you

I told them I like the way I am,

And I am not changing who I have become..

What happen to the sisters I once knew..

Well, you always cared about what people think

But I never thought you would change who you are..

I am so disappointed in you both..

If you didn’t like what they made you try on

Why didn’t you say so?

Why did you waste your money buying it?

Now you will only wear it when you are around them

So you can please and make them happy

When you aren’t making yourself comfortable

Just the people around you..

I thought our parents raised you better than that…

They made you the way you are, why would you want to change?..

I can’t understand, I can’t seem to find a reason to..

I have so much anger in me because of what you have become..

I just want to scream all my feelings toward you both..

Why can’t you ever stick up for yourselves?

I know I could have said something

But I know I would have started drama between your second family..

I just hope you put us first before you put them..

Seems like you are much happier with them, than with us..

But what makes me die inside is

You let these people take over who you really are..

And all I can do is shake my head in dismay

Leaving me with another disappointment..

The worse feeling in the world…

i really loved this. it was more like a letter. i could feel your frustration & disappointment. it is strong & powerful. people are blinded by love at times, they so easily change, but eventually, once they realize their mistake, that they shouldn't waste time trying to please people, but instead be themselves, such as the old dr suess quote "those who mind don't matter & those who matter don't mind", they will become who they once were. good, intense writing.

This is something I know first hand. My brother was the same way. I feel your pain.

You ask so many good questions in this and you make a statment that everyone needs to live by.

Be YOURSELF!

shout that from the rooftops and hopefully it will reach someone.

This is beautiful. Really. I understand this completely. Here's to people who don't disappoint!

[chloe cruz]

This is a really good poem... full of anger, disappointment, and full of truth!

Great job...

One thing I have learned over the course of my life is that you cant please everyone all the time. People will look down on you for things they find unacceptable, they will judge you as if they have the right to do so. As hard as it may seem, dont put too much stock in what others say or feel about you. You titled it perfectly...Be Yourself. Great write my friend.

Your life is full of questions yet you express them so clearly. Your growth from these future answers are going to generate one heck of a leader or motivated speaker. Keep reaching for more depth. Keep writing with more depth. So many people you will pass along the way will reap the benefit of your wisdom and creativity. Great write Again and Again and Again. I am a fan!
