Anything But Me

by Raychil   Jul 13, 2006


I've been told so many things
Like to be the best I could be
To practice and to never quit
To be anything but me

I've been told to stay strong
To never let people win
And if I were to ever break down
It would surely be a sin

I've been told to help my friends
Even if I'm hurting too
Because they're pain is more impotant
Than anything I'm going through

When my mom and I get into fights
I'm supposed to take it and be kind
No matter all the things she calls me
I'm supposed to keep the the pain inside

I've been told to keep smiling
To never show a sign of weakness
To never let a tear be seen
To always hide my pain and stress

I've been told so many things
My head's so confused I can't see
I just simply do what I'm told
And be anything but me.

    Alright now, my turn to comment you

    Raych..whoever is telling you these LIES should feel really ashamed...hun if you want to cry or show weakeness then do so...If you don't want to help a friend one day because your going through hell to...if they are a friend they'll understand...You can't not be you, because then it just makes your life harder and you'll always walk around confused not knowing what you want to be in life or where you want to go...I did love this poem though! I like how you write!!

    Last stanza, first line, last word, it should be 'things'

    But I absolutely loved it! It was so precise and exact, and the flow went smoothly. I loved each line and its meaning, to the whole stanza, to the whole poem. It was really good. The message and meaning you sent to the reader was perfect... the feeling was defintely there. Great Job! It was great.
