my backs been crushed
and my spine smashed to dust
i gave up i gave in
and i let them win

gathered up my values
said to hell with these
threw them out the window
with such graceful ease

i have no more pride
left it on the other side
im nothing but a fake
a mold for them to make

its amazing the way
your accomplishments dont matter
when a simple haircut
makes them all stir

so ill make everyone else happy
change my hair maybe get a tan
look like some backstreet boy
so everyone can say what a nice young man

Its better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not

Naw, don't. Make your hair even funkier than before, but refine your manners and dress with your shirt tucked in. Then you will get your message across.

Another good poem. Hope to see you posting more.

Naaaaaa don't conform to what others say about some hair. Good job in expressing yourself, keep the hair-do

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

If you turn into a Backstreet Boy, I'll personally have to beat you down. I'm just kidding of course. Very good poem. I actually thought it was about a haircut when I clicked it.

Well I am going to deliberately go against what everyone else said and say, Yes. Go and conform. Cut your hair and fit into that mould. Just kidding of course.

Conformity is for those who have no direction. You do NOT want to look like someone from the Backstreet Boys alright. Do you know what happens to people like them?!

Stick with what you have. This is where being unique comes into play. 

you really want to look like BSB

you are who you are, you should accept that
don't change yourself just to be accepted by others
people should like you for who you are
thanks for the read

Never change for anyone.

change for no one, respect everyone - until they give you a reason not to, and be a fearless zealot to expression.

I thought I replied to this one.. I guess not. This was a good poem, but I don't think you should change for anyone but yourself.
Good job on the poem.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.
