Oh my, i know the feeling of wanting my parents aproval
i wanted them to accept me so much that i hide everything from them that they didnt like and by know they dont even know me because i have keep so much from them....

you expressed your feelings wonderfully and good luck

Have you told them how you feel? nice poem. don't change yourself, God made everyone different to teach tolerance and unconditional love to all people.

I love it! i excatly know how you feel, well maybe not w/ the dark clothes and such. but how im different from my family and they all look down on me because of it.

Very well written.

"should i dress like you,
think like you
be you?"
['be like you', just putting 'be you' ruins the flow it had using the word 'like']

"for Christ's sake"
[take that line out. It really doesn't have a purpose. It seemed out of place, unless you joined it with the previous line, but it would make that line too long]

It was an alright poem. It seemed more poetic than the first one. Still need a little work, but the overall message was good, and the style was different. Good stuff though.

I like this, alot. Parents not accepting who their children are is really sad. You did a really great job on this one too. You're a great writer. Keep up the fantastic work =) 5/5

`Taleee. xx.
