To Be Yourself...

by Sarah Ann   Jun 24, 2005


I want you to call me beautiful
Not to tell people that I am hot
Just to love me for whom I am
Not for the things that I am not

I want you to tell them the truth
Not to tell your friends some lies
I just want you to open up to me
Not to hide behind your disguise

I want you to listen to my point
Not to just go say you are right
I just want you to understand it
Not to disagree and start a fight

I want you to be honest with me
Not to go treat me like any other
I want you to, know I love you
Not like that, but like my brother

I want you to act how you were
Not to pretend like someone else
I want you to be the guy I knew
I only want you to be yourself…

-I know this is not good at all...But it really came deep from my heart. I am scared that I am losing a very good friend of mine...

    You stayed within the boundaries of form and meter which is a good thing. The poem is very clean from a structural perspective, the rhyme is not too forced and it flows evenly.

    The message of the poem is close to home, personal and honest, which, nine times out of ten, will make for a good poem.

    I enjoyed it and the sentiment you conveyed made me smile.

    If I had to critisise any area of your work it would be this: I think you can improve areas of your writing by delving deeper into the english language. There are many, many words that can help express your feelings in a more poetic way. But there is no rush, time is on your side and I am certain that with time your (considerable) talent will develop nicely.

    Always have a dictionary to hand and never be afraid to use it!

    Very nice effort.
