I dont fit in
where do I go

Who am I anymore
I surly don't know

This person
this body

Isn't really me
why arn't I who I used to be

I changed myself for him
I wanted to be just like her

Popular and pretty who could
ever ask for more

To have the perfect body
To have the perfect look

I'd do anything to be her, just
one day in time

Im so sick of me and who
I turned out to be

I look back in the mirror
only to be disgusted and hurt

awww sweetie! this was a hard poem for me to read b/c i have this "ability" to feel peoples pain. you got to love youreself for who you are and don't try to be anyone that you aren't. as a wise woman once said, "you must love yourself before you love another. by accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy" -jane roberts  *hugs*

I just wish one day we all would learn to be content with who we truly are

I think everyone is beautiful in their own way. i hate to see girls feel the way they do when they arent satisfied with themselves...look in the mirror and try to find the that you are truly beautiful. cause you are.

who knows why we change ourselves
at least you prove to the world
that you were better being yourself
then anyone else, great message. great poem too can't get much better than that.

This is a well written poem. This is a piece I'm sure many will identify with. Nicely done, Krystle. *hugs*

Unfortunately, when our head wants something, we go to any lengths to get it.
You've expressed yourself well in this piece.

Things always get better in the end though so keep smiling.

If this is all the world has to offer, I want a refund on my life.

Like the others...this is one I also can relate to...This was very well written and overall just a great poem.  Its amazing how we can build other people up and find the beauty within everyone...but ourselves...
Thanks for sharing

Nicely said Acire, I have to agree. I enjoyed the poem... it reminds me a bit of my style of writing. I hope one day you can look in the mirror and be happy with yourself. I hope soemday I can as well. A couple of thoughts: I'd change "aren't" and I'd move "who could" "just" and "and who" down to the lines below. Hope these ideas help. Good write.

very nicely done! I don't often read a poem of this topic and not think, "eugh, its THAT poem again."
I didn't think that this time, you must be on to something!

One day you'll look in that mirror and just cry..and you'll see that you went through all those changes for nothing..I know everyone wants to fit in but eventually sooner or later we'll love ourselves..it's taken me forever...and I think I'm starting to be okay with myself and I'm not here to please anyone but myself=) It takes time..

Love,
Kristen
