who i am

you can say im different

i dont mind

i dont care

its true

 

im not like everyone else

i dont want to be like them

not in any way

quit comparing them to me

 

i dont want to be someone im not

i cant be that person everyone wants me to be

i just want to be me 

 

im the type of girl thats quite

whos rarely outgoing

i dont speak my mind

even when im dying inside to do so

 

im the one standing in the dark corner by myself

if somethings bothering me, i wont say what

even if its tearing me apart on the inside

 

i know that when the tears fall,

the one who wipped them away befor,wont

when i sing aloud, im not heard

thats okay though, im not good at it anyway

 

in truth, i care more about everyone else more than myself

if somethings bothering you, ill deal with it

if your in trouble, ill help you win the fisht

you gotta know in always here for you

evenwhen im not

 

im the type of girl who speaks in a formal manner

who dose whats shes told

who dosent talk back

i only do so because i choose to

 

if you dont like me, thats fine

if you have to say something to me, tell it to my face

i wont take you seriously otherwise

 

when im at my weakest, thats when you strike

when im at my weakest, you think you have a chance

overpower me? maybe with strength, but nothing more

you think you can win

dear, your too confedent

 

but guess what?

i would rather die than let you win

hun, if things were that easy, i woulndt be here

I really like this for two reasons: 1) It's coming from YOU and it's not a story that you fabricated, 2) You were brave enough to post it.

This poem is a very powerful statement. I believe a lot of people can relate to what you say at some point or another. This is NOT an "epic fail" because it's an honest, raw, passionate and powerful poem.

This poem is amazing! Very truthful and I feel the same

I love it, and I can really relate to it. Sometimes if the meaning of a piece is strong enough, flow has nothing to do with it. Definately not an epic fail, and this is probably one of the nicest poems I've read for a while :)

I love the honesty here!! Beautiful.

[Cassiopia Summers]

Wow. I felt like I was reading into my own life. This is simply scary. You my Dear, are amazing, I love that you posted such an insightful bit about yourself. It comes from your heart, that inner strength and honor to do this. Great write, I'd love to get to know you, the real you, because I too do not lie and hate it when others do.

[Rene Velez]

honesty is the best poetry sweetie, nice job...

[light and ashes]

Its really good to get things out.
You have your own unique voice and don't let anyone take that away from you.
You DO have the right and the prevelge to be you. So do it well :]
But don't forget yourself along the way of doing things for others. Don't forget that YOU ARE IMPORTANT TOO! And therefore just as important as those you treasure.
YOU are a treasure yourself and don't forget it :]
Great and honest poem, true to yourself. Expressing that YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE, and telling the world that you don't have to apologize for it and its true that you don't. Great job. I enjoyed reading this.

[DontBlink158]

Not a fail. I loved it, it was everything about me except for the back talk... I do think it has a flow, you just cant see it, you have to feel it (wow that sound stupid and corny) but it is true. Amazing Job.

Great write! Stay just the way you are. Don't let others change you. Keep on penning.
