Why do I have to be so afraid? why must my world spin endlessly why should life be so complicated Why I can't I just be? Why must I play host to this evil seed that thrives on my own insecurities it swells up deep within my soul waiting for me to lose control When did I begin to doubt my heart? why do I hold myself back again and again What keeps me from reaching the depths of the sea Why can't I just be? Why do I constantly try to fit in? to be stipped of my own individuality I'm caught up in the web of society's distortions far from life's realities Why do I doubt my hopes and dreams? who says one cannot touch the sky? I yearn to set my spirit free yet why is it so hard just to be? why is it so hard just to be me. ~*Yesterday is gone, let go of the past; tommorrow will bring new hope to grasp*~ |

This was a great poem. But hey man......you can be. Just close your eyes and click your heels three times.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

This is a wonderful piece. We all have times that we are insecure, especally at this time of our lives. All we can do is be true to ourselves, that's hard enough!

This is prbably the first poem of yours that I've read. And believe me when I say that I am totally impressed by your writing. Your expressions on this piece is so clear. So many questions without answers. I have only one thing to say. Life is not easy...if it was easy, we wouldn't learn and grow from our mistakes. And if we don't grow, we cannot become better people. Hope things get better for ya  I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |

I tell people that I am who I am and nobody can change that! And if they don't like it that is their problem not mine! You have written well and I hope that one day you can be you and not the person everyone wants you to be! Melz!! keep in!! |

Why do I doubt my hopes and dreams? who says one cannot touch the sky? I yearn to set my spirit free yet why is it so hard just to be? why is it so hard just to be me. I loved that. Powerful words. What Can't I just be? I ask myself this all the time. I guess it comes with the age. People just expect you to be something you're not. Don't let them get you down and hold onto your individuality. Its something to be cherished. apsara |
