~*~btw this is about some really mean people that say i'm not pretty... and last night it really got me down. so i wrote....~*~

i'm sorry they think i'm ugly
i'm sorry that i'm not cool
i'm sorry for any embarasment you suffer
i'm sorry that they're so cruel

i'm sorry josie was mean to you
i'm sorry you have to stand up for me
i'm sorry you have no peace
i'm sorry they won't let you be free

i'm sorry i can't be with you
i'm sorry we're so far apart
i'm sorry i can't defend myself
i'm sorry they hurt your heart

but hang on.... why should i be sorry?... I'm totally not sorry for....

Thinking the world of you
and helping you fly free,
cussing all those people in my head
and being PROUD TO BE ME!


The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip ~*~jon bon jovi~*~

I'm sorry this is happening to you, but remember, dont change yourself just for someone else.  The flow of the poem was fine, and I really enjoyed it.

Wow, I loved this poem, this actually happened to me too, only in a different way, hehe, but you hang in there and remember you don't have to change for no one.

Excellent poem!

Aw..... *hugs* I get that a lot. Your poem expresses feelings, and really well. I like the way it's written. Keep you head up and Keep smiling!

I can totally relate. I was made fun of in grade school because I was different than others. I then realized that its okay to be who you are.

good work.  you've chosen a topic very close to just about everyone.  the sort of caesura formed by the line before the last stanza threw me off a little, but your overall work is great!

I really enjoyed this.  As I was reading down, about the third stanza, I started to think "Why should she be sorry for all this?  None of these things are things that she could prevent from happening in any way."  I was pleased to see: "but hang on.... why should i be sorry?..."
Nice work, here.  I liked this a lot.

If someone tells you that you're not pretty, tell them not so politely to get lost. You don't need that sort of crap.

I really like your ending for this. It shows that you came through and are actually proud to be yourself. Poems with positive emotions in the ending are always better to read.

Thanks for sharing this.

Very positive ending. Shows just how proud you are to be you and that is something to admire in these times. Not many people can say the same. So kudos to you on that.
Very nice poem here.

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Godd for you.  Be strong and never let anyone put you down.  Just laugh at thm for when they do such a thing, that already means that they are lower than you are.  Keep your head up

wow, been so long since ive been here.....but anywho, the poem. Its excellent! There are so many ppl who can/will relate to what you feel right now, myself included. Never change yourself to satisfy someone else. You are who you are and if that not good enough for them, they arent worth your time or effort.
