Trying to be me!

Emo is a statement but I'm just being me.

Why can't people understand why can't people see?

I dress the way I like and dye my hair the rainbow.

But people words make me feel low.

 

My body is my own even though I hate it!

I look in the mirror and ponder and sit.

Too Skinny too fat not what they want.

They want me molded, colours to font!

 

Scene is a lifestyle you have fit in!

Dressing like every other to truly begin.

Have your hair their way your make up O.T.T!

It not what I want it just not me!

 

Goth is a darker side to life.

Too much to sacrifice.

Depressing dark and lonely.

That is so not me!

 

I'm just who I am trying to be me.

Why can't people understand why can't people see?

screw labels. We are what we are. You shouldn't label yourself, either.
I loved the rhyme scheme for this. :)

Unfortunatly we live in a judgemental society but I love that you have used this in your piece. Very revealing and so honest. I love it.

Great work,

It's always better to be yourself and be true to yourself don't follow the rest of the sheep and you'll end up having a far better life than those that ultimately did.
you can only be truly happy if you are you.
you have talent keep up the good work x

Words that ring in my ears.
Your poems are vey intriguing, and I find that you love to express yourself. That's a good thing, and you should keep up your great writing. I do so agree with you though, why can't people except us for who we are. Great poem, and great write! ☺

I understand. And sympathize. I dress and act and talk the way I wish to. Whether or not it gains the approval of those people around me.
