i wanna be me
and not care what everyone else thinks

i wanna be me
and not worry about pleasing the whole world,

i wanna be me
and live freely with my own rules

i wanna be me
and have fun MY way, not the way everyone else expects me to

i wanna be me
and go at my own pace, not at the pace i let ppl set for me

i wanna be me
and stop fearing everyone else because i think they wont like the me that im hiding

i wanna be me
and enjoy it to the max, not be the person others want me to be and be miserable

i wanna be me
and stop making excuses for not being myself

i wanna be me
and feel like i deserve to be loved too, not the only way ill be loved is if im sumone else

i wanna be me
i wanna see wit my own eyes not urs
i wanna hear wit my own ears not theres
i wanna feel with my own heart not ur words
i wanna judge wit my own mind not wit ur eyes

i wanna be me
not you,
not who u want me to be

i wanna be me
not her,
not who she wans me to be

i wanna be me
not him,
not who he wans me to be

i wanna be me
not them,
not who they want me to be

i jus wanna be me!!

Hey! This was really cool. Not many people have the courage to write something the way THEY want it written, not the way everyone else's poetry is written. I love your sense of style. Keep it up.

I understand WHOLEHEARTEDLY what you're expressing. I hate having to be what everyone wants... sometimes you just don't want to smile... and you want to be left alone.... and that should be okay.
Keep it up!- Jenn

Dude, don't hide. I say, be yourself no matter what. If people don't like you for who you are they aren't worth it. I'm not one of those kids who say "YEA! YOU'RE RIGHT! GOTTA BE YOURSELF!" and I turn around and join this bullcrap way of being like everybody around me and putting on a mask to please others. I actually do what you write. Let me tell you one thing, when i took off my mask and all that......it was refreshing. It's the best thing in the world to live knowing you are yourself, and the people who DO like you, only like you for you and nothing else. So yea, there's my 3 cents of knowledge.

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

This is the way I to get at times in my life...Alot of people expect me to be something I am not...But if they dont like me for the way that I am...Its their loss not mine!!!
