All Alone and Myself

Someday we all have to grow up

Why?

Do you keep yourself on a leash

While society laughs at you

Why do you care?

They know you're special

So move on 

 forget them all 

You need to know

That someday you'll be alone 

Because friends aren't forever

What? 

Do you need people 

Keep telling you how beautiful you are 

Because you don't believe it 

Someday you'll be all alone

Everyone will go eventually 

Someday you'll be alone

Hey 

Society wants you be like them

Boring and depressed 

Just like every teen today 

It keeps PRESSING YOU

To be like them

But you let out  NO 

So loud because 

Thats you

Someday you'll be all alone  

Friends aren't forever 

Better treat yourself like 

King or Queen 

Now

My mind Keeps making 

Statementes about them

Why do we defend how they are? 

They want you to change 

Why not be like what you want to be?

Listen to yourself

stop crying about how everyone doesn't like you 

Why ?

Do you actually expect the people care?

only friends and family care about you 

So you better like yourself

You'll be all alone 

With family or friends 

Someday you'll be the last of them

A Broken Dinasty 

Better of alone then 

Being put in stupid rules 

So grow up its time to move 

It's time to move 

It's time to move on 

(Don't pay attention to them) 

We'll all be alone

We'll eventually grow up

Hi Lizardo. This is a really brilliant write for anyone suffering because they are different. I like that you appear to be talking to someone special, yet your message is for so many!!! Insecurity is a bummer for anyone to experience, and reassurance is not always the answer, just keep writing, keep getting through and we'll be friends forever!!! alf

I really wish I had something like this to read when I was in high school. I got made fun of a lot just because I wore a lot of black and decided I didn't like One Direction. I had classmates passing me notes asking why I was so weird and why I don't just kill myself. Now as I'm out of school I see them all getting arrested or having babies with no daddy around, and I'm doing fantastic! haha.
I hope that if someone going through similar things read this they will get something out of it. The only people's opinions that should really matter to you are the ones you care about. Everyone else is just a useless second opinion from people that don't really know you.
A great message to spread, keep it up! :)

"Better of alone then being put in stupid rules"..... i really liked the message in this poem... yes sometimes we do give lot of importance to the people around us and forget that we also exist in this world.... good one my friend

That pretty perfectly describes being a teenager. Societal ideologies suck, so make your own better ones.

[Maura Ansley]

I very much agree with this poem. Nicely written

We 'all eventually grow up.At the end of the day,all that matters is what we did for ourselves.we can keep doing good for others too but without getting dragged by what they choose for us rather be the architect of ourselves and keep growing,no matter what.Nicely written Lizardo

You've shared some wise words in this well written poem. We all eventually grow up, and find who we are - unique in our own way. Well done.

we don't have to be like others, and we don't need others to confirm that we are okay...it is inside us to know that.

well expressed.

Thank you Jacob !

Good words and nice work. We have to believe and count on ourselves. Some of your friends will stay for the ages, but only you true self can help you survive and control your life. Thanks for sharing.
