PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sometimes I feel like everyone

wants me to change who I am.

But I'm comfortable being me,

so I don't really think that I can.

Everyone always seems the same.

always doing what is right.

But I've never been one to go with the flow.

Is that what keeps me up at night?

I've never wanted to be famous,

or President like everybody.

I just wanted to sit alone with my books

and to be no one but me.

My parents were always sad,

saying I should at least want to try.

I've never been the prettiest or smartest,

and so emotional I'd always cry.

My brothers look at me and laugh,

Their big sister whose always been fat.

But I don't care what they say,

Or if they treat me like a floor mat.

I refuse to change who I am

because I won't ever be ashamed.

I feel like a clown Surrounded by millionaires,

I feel like a disease that remains unnamed.

I'm sorry I'm a f**k up,

but at least I'm happy.

If you don't like it too bad.

Because I'm proud just being me.

Don't wish that I'd try and be different

or that I'd step into the "light."

And when I make mistakes don't get mad,

Cause like Shane said, "Oops, my bad I never said I'd ever get it right."
