Don't Change Yourself, Just Change You

by PinkyPrincess   May 10, 2010


Don't go changing
That's what I thought you said
Change yourself
That's what you said instead

You don't like anything about me
And want me to be somebody I'm not
Why don't you just let me be?
You've taken everything I've got

I thought you loved me for me
But I must be wrong
You want me to be someone else completely
Somebody who's passive and not strong

Am I not enough for you?
Do you not like my personality?
I listen to you because that's all I can do
But I know this isn't the best reality

How can you love someone?
But hate everything about them?
Why do you love me?
If you don't even like me?

When I ask you about what to do
You say, "Don't change yourself,
Just change you.
Or else we're through."

But if I change me,
Then I'm changing myself
And I won't be happy
To become someone else.

    Wow!! That is all I can say after reading that. I truly understand what you are talking about here. And you were right when you said someone can't love you if they don't like you. If someone wants you to change then they can't love you. I also loved how you ended it with strong words saying that you won't change yourself just to be with them, I agree 100%. This poem was deep and awesome!

    Let me tell u, this is an excellent writing, with so much truth in it.
    your ending was so powerful.
    and the flow was really so easy to follow.
    I love how u started it and just sadly felt the bitterness of ur words.

    whats harder than loving someone who wants us ye in someone else s shoes or dress of frame.I believe if someone doesnt love us for who we are, can never love us for who we might be.
    and who doesn't accept us, doesn't deserve us in the 1st place

    a well written piece
    5/5
