Miss Perfect

I don't want to be your friend

You can forget about the love,

You want me to send,

I'm not letting you,

Walk all over me,

You say one thing isn't right,

You talk trash

You have a list of things that’s not right,

 

I won't let you make changes

Just so you can use me in the end

Make me feel I have no self-worth,

When you see me,

Whether you like it or not

You decide to be my friend,

No trash talk,

 

I won't let your thoughts chase me,

So I will be afraid,

Because I don't want to change,

I can tell, what’s on your list: 

I don't want to dress,

To how you want me to,

I won't change my hair

To how you like it

I won't act,

To how you want me to,

This isn't fair

It gives my heart so much pain

I can't be how you want me to be

I don't want to be your MISS PERFECT

If I was, I wouldn't be writing this

Instead I would be dead

 

So think again,

Control freak,

Pick on someone else, not me

Good poem. People shouldn't try to change others. I really agree with this because if anyone tried to change me I would beat them up. Or die like you said...anyways good job. Thanks for sharing. :)

Stay true to yourself. Anyone else that matters will be right there along the way. I love the ending. Perfect.

Fantastic, truly fantastic!
So much anger... it just really shouts out!
Wonderful poem! :D

[Charles]

This is much like another poem of yours I looked at. There are a few grammatical things that need attention and some more colorful language would would help a bit. I'd try a revision here, but don't give up on the central theme - it seems important to you. Of course, my opinion is just that - opinion. :-)

Powerful, stunning voice of individuality!! Nicely done, Rosie, nicely done.

[Richard Williams]

No one should be controlled or manipulated like a marionette, you've stated it well.

[Andrew Wright]

Perfection is in our imperfections, our ability to be wholly what we are. I think that makes you pretty darn close, if not there. I like this piece, the self-empowering stream of thought shows your ability to be perfect in who you are - not how someone else sees it for you.

[Cassiopia Summers]

Nobody is perfect and you are right to write this piece. It is a wonderful piece about standing up for yourself and not letting people walk all over you. Inspiring.

Perfection ain't easy and it sure is boring to say the least ... You've encapsulated how control freaks should loosen their grip on perfection and do a reality check & examine their own house ... And the receivers of the power play should stand up and rebel ... Then Shout .. "I'm freeeeeeeeee .... so go walk elsewhere, you dink! " Good job, Rosie C!
LLR (check out my piece "Pissed" ...it's kinda relates to Miss Perfect .. Kinda ...)
