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.

I love this.
I can realte to every word, like you're writing about me, I absolutlly love this, and it's going in my favorites

[silentpoet]

[Ashli The Amazing]

i love this poem it's my new favorite one by you because i can really relate to it. my parents and friends are always trying to change me or compare to another person. i get so frustrated with them and knowing that someone feels the same way makes me realize that i'm not the only one with problems. thankyou

This is what you call a fail?? Well that makes all of my writings super failures cuz I really like this! It's really good. I love when poeple are just themselves, not what oters would want them to be.
Good job, Athena:)

[November Gold]
