What Kind of Life

Everyone knows what is best for me, but it doesn't agree with what I want for me!

What Kind of Life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What kind of life would I have

To listen and try to behave;

I've been listening to unknowing,

Trying to give them a showing.

 

Don't you want to see whom I am,

Devoid of your hopes' diaphragm;

I am, sadly, all that I can really be;

Someone no one can seem to see.

 

I don't want to be whom I was,

Lost in last year's ugly buzz;

I am whom I have grown into

For me, only, and not for you.

 

If I don't prove good enough,

Well, that for you is rough;

'Cause I'm tired of being a round "Peg,"

Trying to fit in a square hole for "Peg."

I found myslef stumbleing through this piece to the very end wich actually made the whole piece work for me. Once I reached the square hole I felt much like a round peg myself. All the ruff bummpy edges of the piece where smoothed out and I found that like a round peg I just don't fit into the square hole. Nice!

Cute.
That is just. positively. CUTE. (lol)

Nice, short, to-the-point. (unnecessarily long poetry tires me!)
Thumbs up! :D

There is a defiant note to this that I find appealing. It is necessary to know ourselves, and be happy with who that person within is, before anything resembling personal growth or progress can occur. Be careful though, as "being happy with oneself", and, "not caring about others' opinions" is a mighty wee step!

Love it! Reminds me of myself when I was going through a bitter divorce. My ex couldn't handle that I had decided to give myself a voice instead of putting up with his controlling ways and abusive demeanor. I long ago learned that either love me or leave me, because I'm not changing for anyone anymore. Well said, my friend.

Life is too short to not live it for you..:) Excellent write..x

[Larry Dyson]

nice statement of realization that what others wish is not what we want or see and the final statement of choice and rebellion is good..to sleep, perchance to Dream....
"If I don't prove good enough,

Well, that for you is rough;

Because I am tired of being 'Peg,'

Trying to fit in a square scallywag."
