What The World Wants Me To Be

by Always4You   Feb 21, 2006


Deep down inside
I have these thoughts
They are tearing me apart piece by piece

I'm not as good as I should be
I can't keep up with what's expected
These voices inside my head whisper deadly words
I can't get out; where is the light?

Deep down, in the darkest hole
There I hide
I hide my face, because I should be ashamed of it
I am a rose, that has wilted a way

Don't look at me
I'm not a beauty, I never will be
My smile is broken
My skin is not smooth

How am I too live when the world tells me I'm not good enough?
How can I show my face, when beautiful people surround me?

Until this world accepts me for me
Not wanting to change who God made me to be
Then here, in the deepest, darkest part of my mind
I will sit holding my hands to my face
Until real beauty is defined

    This was... interesting. my favorite lines were "I'm not as good as I should be, I can't keep up with what's expected"... because i know how it feels to feel that way... to never feel good enough... when all the girls around are so much prettier and my sister is so much smarter, ya know? i can definately feel the emotion and the point your trying to create in this poem. But seriously... you should love yourself, love who you are who cares how smooth your skin is or who does/doesnt except you, your you and thats all you need to be. -jen-
