Stop pulling me
Everybody wants
Something of me

Stop needing me
Everyone always
Relies on me

I need air
I need room
To breath the clean air

I can’t see me
Standing at the end
I need someone with me

My mom wants me
To do whatever she wants
She doesn’t care about me

My dad wants me
To be just like him
He doesn’t understand me

My teachers want me
To do well
They don’t know me

My friends want me
To be cool and friendly
Sometimes they can’t stand me

My girlfriend wants me
For who I am
She loves me

She understands me
She knows me
She’s with me

My girlfriend
I love her
She loves me


~well, hers the context for this one, i got bad grades, i do good things and no one cares, i do bad things, like get bad grades, and everyone is all over me about it...i cant win, excapt with my girlfriend, shes always here for me

i am blinded by the silence of a breaking heart... i cant see myself

At least people care....if they get on you it just means they expect more from you.
Most people don't care, period.
Good job on the poem....sweet for your gf.

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

Aww.. this is sweet.  It's always nice to have someone like this in your life.  
Love is great, huh?  
Nice work.

Good job!  This kind of poem has an impact because you express one factor as better than all the others.  Personally I didn't like how you gave her three stanzas and everyone else only one, it kind of showed a bias in the presentation of each factor.  I think that the impact of the fact that she is the ONE thing that you have going for you would have been improved if there was a stanza like all the rest that was positive, as opposed to negative.
Just my humble opinion, of course.  No need to take it.

i really like the last stanza of this piece, it gave the poem the impact that it needed.  the flow was pretty good throughout too, due to your use of shorter lines in this piece. great job on this, keep posting all your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.
