Words

You expect me to say sorry for who I am?

Well,

No.

From the start I told you I was mean, 

Heartless,

Harsh,

Arrogant,

Aggressive,

Alone.

It never seems to sink in.

You think I'm trying to be quirky?

I'm really not going to stand you for much longer.

Yet here you now stand, trying to use the words I once described myself with in an insulting manner.

A fact can't be an insult,

Nor can you expect to change me.

Just because I hate on me doesn't mean I need to change, 

doesn't give you the right to try and change me. 

I think being alone is the better option;

no friends,

no fears,

no expectations,

no reason to cry.

For I'd rather merely exist, than have to actually "try".

Heather, you express your feelings smoothly and hostely...
keep the pen in hand and your heart and mind to paper...
Once again great poem....

[Heather]

Thank you, honestly. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

woah! I could feel the anger in which this poem was written! (although I don't really know if you wrote this out of some frustration) but an amazing job! I could sense all the emotions that you've penned in here! wonderful job! keep writing :D

I'm quite an angry person aha, people just irritate me to this point aha. Thank you! xD

Oh, this really resonates. I've been accused of being cold hearted... When nothing could be further from the truth. I've just learned my lessons well, when it comes to not allowing others to hurt me.
The last two lines of the poem really hit a home run. Excellent self expression

When I meet people, I make it clear that I'm not very nice, I'm harsh, rude, make comments that are deemed to be inappropriate and that I mostly don't like people, nor do I often care. When people stoop so low as to try to use that against me, it makes me laugh that I affected them enough for them to even care. People build up walls, doesn't make them any less of a person. Thank you :)
