I Will Never Be You!

** For A Contest **
** We were told to write and spill out emotions over something we are going through. So this poem isn't very good. Its just a spill of emotions **

I will never be you,
As much as you want me to.
I'm different, I change
So why can't you accept that?

You force me to be you,
Force me into religious circumstances,
Where I really couldn't care less,
If there is a God or not.
I personally hate religion,
But I don't care that people have views on it.
I accept that you do.
So why can't you accept that I don't?

I'm not smart, and thats a fact.
My grades were never as good as yours.
I'm average, so why can't you accept that?

Why must I be you?
I'm a totally different person!
Let me live my own life.
Stop forcing yourself into my life.
When you clearly aren't welcome.
Let me live,
Let me be who I want to be.
Because I will never be you.

Forcing me to do things as you wish,
Makes me push away even more.
Makes me hate the fact that you do.
Sometimes makes me even hate you.

I will never be you,
So let me live.
Let me grow on my own.
This is my life,
I control it.
NOT YOU!.

    You have expressed yourself exceedingly well. Your emotions on this matter have literally spilt out.

    Why do certain people think they know what is best? Why do they insist on telling people what they should be and not be doing?

    Well, I believe these people are conceited, but ironically deeply and privately insecure. They lecture others because it compensates in a sad way for their inadequacies.

    Well done. Better out than in.
