Please be open minded when you read this. This is sort of about a guy I use to respect and care for. That has all changed.

I'm sick of being judged,
not being accepted for who I am,
Some guys can be so cruel,
By what they do and say,
They will say "Oh, I love you"
Then turn and walk away,
Because they can't accepted me,
For who I truely am,
Only I will not change myself,
For some dumb man,
I know I'm not perfect,
But I can only be,
The best me I know how to be,
I know one day,
My "perfect" man will come to me.

Ok, I admit it, its pretty lame. Give me a break I'm a blonde.

Greeneyes: Poetry is never dumb..It is an expression of ones soul and your hair colour has nothing to do with it!! Now I can say that because I have brown hair..*L*.

If this guy is as your poetry tells, you are really better off without him.

This is not lame at all GreenEyes, and in fact, I thought it was a wonderfully, positive verse! Great message ... nicely done!

Best wishes,

Hope you views change a bit.....men are ok. You don't have to CHANGE for a man.....you shouldn't change for anybody. BUT....you can IMPROVE from somebody. See the wording is a bit different but it has a lot in common. You aren't changing for that somebody but improving for that somebody and yourself.
good luck!

So you're a blonde. Big deal. That was a VERY good poem. Just cause you're a blonde doesn't mean you're stupid... I'm brunette and I act "blonde" half the time. Anyway, you got the right idea. DON'T change yourself for some guy. It's not worth it, and when that guy breaks up with the girl that changed, she's gotta find the true her again. The right guy WILL love you no matter what and no matter how you act. Awesome poem!

LOL!! Thanks everyone. My sister-in-law told me the other night that if you have to compeite for a guy he isn't worth having in the first place. She is right. I learned just to be myself and people will like me for who I am.

I really liked this...I think we've all had times when we cant stand men and we swear that we'll never fall in love with another man, but we always do. And there are so many great things about men...little things that we dont even realize, especially how sweet they can be. And you shouldnt change for anyone but yourself, and no one should ask you to change for them. Hope everything works out.

HEy this is a good poem. Poetry is a great way to vent these feelings you have. Your "'prefect' man" is out there somewhere.

you just reminded me of Hoku's song, and i really didn't like the song. Hair color has got nothing to do with it. And i agree with your first reply that poetry is basically your feelings penned on paper. It never is lame. Actually, your poem was great and straight to the point. Thanks for the read and keep your head up
