Upside Down

You made me something I'm not.

Now I'm nothing you ever wanted.

 

I have became the person I was all along.

But, you never opened your eyes to see who I really was.

 

Now you blame my change on others.

When it's really hundred percent me.

 

I hate to cause you this pain,

But now it's time for you to see the real me.

 

I'm done with the fighting,

And all of this crying.

 

I'm not sorry I'm not who you want me to be,

But I am sorry for just now saying all of this.

 

You'll always have a place in my heart,

But all of my respect for you has been lost...

and I'm not sure it can be found.

 

So, now I guess is the time

For me to fix what's been broken-

For so long.

Author's Note

It's not got the poem form...look past that it's kinda just a one stanza it was hard to put in that form so look past that and my punctuation please....

"You'll always have a place in my heart,

It come a time when we must give up and move on. Can't revive a dead love. I like the honest thoughts and the strong ending to the excellent poem.

we have all been there...As my wife will say when she even slightly annoys me...'you knew what I was like when you married me'
I tell her that a woman marries a man for what he is and then spends the rest of her life changing him into what she wants him to be....This poem said that to me

[Jordan A. Wilson]

From what I gather from this one I can relate to it.

[Kenneth The Poet]

It's so hard to truly find ourselves. Great piece, I like it a lot.

Finding oneself after living in someone's expectations for so long takes one brave strong soul. This shows such bravery and insight and still embodied with compassion. The form was easy to follow and I found nothing wrong with it.
