Okay I don't really like this one, but I'll work on it... You expect me to be strong; So I am. You expect me to be sweet; So I am. You expect me to love; So I do. You don't expect me to cry; So I don't. You don't expect me to be depressed; So I don't tell you. You don't expect me to be shy; So I'm not. You want me to be myself; How can I when you stereotype me To what I once was? So I am what you think I am: Stereotypical me. Mr T trusts me with coaching the Jr. Girls rugby team. What was he THINKING?!?!?! |

Ah wonderful, heh I loved it. Great way of putting into words what so many of us feel. "Sa souvraya niende missian ye." \ |

GRRRR... I really hate that. People can be so narrow-minded!  Nice work on this piece, short, but to the point.Jenn "You've got to get yourself together, you got stuck in a moment, and you can't get out of it." |

WE MUST ALL REBEL!!! REBEL I TELL YOU!!! REBEL!!!!! Evil stereotypes. You stated this very well, and the message was one we should all take note of. Good job!  ++ Leah ++ Va pensiero sull' ali dorate... |

A well written poem that is not afraid to bluntly state the facts. I think you did a good job using this form of free verse. I think you should not be afraid to stand up to conformity of this nature. It's really not healthy to stay bound up in someone else's image of you. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

Thanks for the replies guys... I just feel so... conformed I guess. I can't tell anyone what's really on my mind cause it's not going along with what people think I am... I'm working on it, but it's really hard. If you define cowardice as running away, tripping and screaming at the first sign of danger, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward. |

this one really flowed nicely. I really hate it when people stereotype me, but there's nothing we can really do about it, however when it's done by someone you care about, that's when the hurt really comes. Nice work. ~I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say but I'm working on it~ |
