Be Your Self Have you ever looked inside, And realized that we must hide. To always live in fear, Is that the future far and near. Why does life go this way, Can’t we all stop and pray. For in this world we can’t be, The one true person that we see. To be ourselves is a sin, We must live a false life to fit in. If we could be who we are, What peace there would be near and far. We could realize we’re not the same, And that no one is to blame. The hate would be no more, And just peace forever more. Needs alittle work  By Necro Draconis Let nature guide your soul. |

Lovely sentiments. I am myself because I don't know who else to be. |

Very nice. It conveys the problems in our current society. Why are so many people afraid to express themselves. You know what I've found strange: Why is it that the people that are not afraid to express themselves, or to show their true selves(well, at least be different), always end up being the famous ones? Pretty wierd, or is it? |

Your poem explains how so many people live thier lives. Its very sad. So many different social levels people think they have to fit in. I myself am myself.Some do find me weird but the ones that mean the most only give me love. Great poem. Blue |

I am myself because no one self was good enough for the role. Society does put pressure on people to conform, but why should we listen to the foolish minority who think they know everything. Flaunt your differences wear them proud. Celebrate your identity. really enjoyed your poem. thanks for sharing ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures.

i don't think it needs too much work at all, you conveyed the feelings well. I expended a lot of time and energy trying to be what others expected, now....well I'm just me, and I'm a lot better for it. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |
