I'm no one but me

By Britty

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why do people feel the need To tell me how to live? I'm not a kid I can think for myself Because i'm no one but me I'm supposed to be Some famous star And be like others But that serves no purpose Because i'm no one but me I can't be what everyone else wants It's a burden in itself "Why don't you play sports?" Well, i'll tell you why Because i'm no one but me Don't always expect That because of my appearance I will fit this looks persona I'm trying my best to be apart from its usual Because i'm no one but me Many times I look in the mirror And I don't like what I see I wanted to change into "normal" But I didn't Because i'm no one but me The rest of my life is MY choice I want to prove the things i've been taught Nothing or no one will stop me I've set MY path Because i'm no one but meThis is just about how people always tell me that cuz i'm tall i should do this, and do that.... it's really kept me from doing many things. Finally, i get to do what i want to do. Written March 27th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 10:05 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
