My greed

You say that i don't need to change?

Then why am i still so lonely?

So afraid to live

So scared to leave my house

I get abused all the time

For my looks

My fat

My attitude

I hate it all

And thats why I hurt

I love you

Yet you don't feel the same

I am just greedy

I have to change

Or else I'll die

Inside and outside

This is very emotional, you really know how to write brilliant poems, I hope this isnt personally about you though! :)

I can relate well to this poem, Sherb.. one thing I've learned.. BE the best person you can, for you.. BEcome what you wish to BE, not what others want you to be. When you are BEing yourself, regardless of that outer shell, true friends will surround you and enjoy your company. BEINGNESS... great poem!

a bit melodramatic, don't you think? you're pushing for power, so don't write yourself a death sentence... unless this is just meant as a pity poem, then i suppose it's allowed. the first lines are quite good, though, ...i understand, well, of being scared of everything, being afraid... it just fizzles out a bit towards the end.

perfection is an ever moving, ever changing target. one must live up to their own expectations, their own potential, not be bound by what any one else sees as ideal. If you live your life trying to be perfect for someone else, or to simply fit in, you will never find happiness or satisfaction. We must please ourselves first!

Like this write - great empathy for the 'exceptional few'.

great write!
I can totally relate to
"You say that i don't need to change?

Cos even if people shouldn't change for other people it still hurts when you're being rejected because of your appearance or personality so u want to change anyways :) So then you begin to hate it all and in the end yourself, because you feel like you can't live up to people's expectations, especially the people you love. Even though it shouldn't matter to you, it's simply human nature to adapt to different situations and try to fit in with your surroundings.
And I'm starting to rant so I'll stop now:)
Great job as always! Keep writing cos your amazing.

hmmm... not sure i agree, i don't think any of us should have to change for what the outside world thinks we should be.
