Not bringing me down.

I am the kind of person who worries too much about other people. this one describes that although these people seem so much better than me. im not gonna let it bring me down.

Not bringing me down.

 

She may be cute.

Or sweet.

A walking, talking fashion queen.

A natural at everything she does.

I guess some girls just have all the luck.

 

But that's not gonna bring me down.

It's not gonna slow me down.

My dreams are right in front of me.

Within arm's reach.

Nothing in the way.

It's not gonna bring me down.

 

He may be smart.

Hard to beat.

Or star player of the football team.

Used to think he was something special.

I guess he's just not for me.

 

So that's not gonna bring me down.

Its not gonna slow me down.

My dreams are right in front of me.

Within arm's reach.

Nothing in the way.

And it's not gonna bring me down.

 

As life goes on I realize

That people come along.

Who seem better

Who seem cooler

It goes on and on and on

Then I just remember.

 

This is not gonna bring me down.

It's not gonna slow me down.

My dreams are right in front of me.

Within arm's reach.

Nothing in the way.

Now I know.

Nothing can bring me down.

Cool poem, I'm glad that you realize that even though people seem better you have just as much as they have and are special also and will reach for your dreams
I like how you repeated this verse

This is not gonna bring me down.
Its not gonna slow me down.
My dreams are right in front of me.
Within arm's reach.
Nothing in the way.
Now i know.
Nothing can bring me down.


Keep reaching for those dreams!

I really like this one. Sounds like your wise beyond your years.
Sometimes shorter is sweeter though. Let me suggest u leave out some words.
When your done writing read it again and see if theres words that go without saying....for example this one stanza could go like this...

Life goes on,
I realize.
People come along
better,
cooler,
and it goes on and on.
I just remember.....


Still awesome and still your words just...shorter and sweeter. Make your reader think about what your really saying.
Like I said. I really like this one!!

great job Lindsey! Why have you always let me have the spotlight with writing?? You are soooo talented! Be proud of your work. It shows who you are.

you have a bright mind :)

This looks more like song lyrics-with the repetitive verse as the chorus line.

capitalize your "i".
