I just can't be your backstreet boy!!

You don't like the way i style my hair,
You don't like the way i show i care.
You hate my look! you hate my pose!
You tell me i don't suit my clothes!

You always say i'm out of touch!
You always say i spend too much!
I'm always wrong! I'm never right!
You'd swear to me that day was night!

You've never told me of you're love!
I give you all, but thats not enough!
I'm not a door mat!, I'm not a toy!
I just can't be your backstreet boy!!

Excellent expression Collins! All we can be is ourselves, and know that this is enough. Wonderful rhythm and flow throughout these words, really well done!  

Best wishes,

I thought this poem was really great. I loved the way it was written. Wonderful!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
