I Wonder...

by Emma   Dec 3, 2005


I wonder what life would be like if I was really me,
I wonder what life would be like if I wasn't what I pretend to be,
I wonder what life would be like if my feelings weren't supressed by my peers,
I wonder what life would be like if I cried no more tears.

I wonder what life would be like if I could speak my mind,
Without worrying about other people, having to be kind.
I wonder what life would be like if i wasn't expected to do more than I can,
I wonder what life would be like if I wasn't expected to be more than I am.

I wonder what life would be like if I were enough for everyone,
I wonder what life would be like if people actually forgave me for what I've done,
I wonder what life would be like if I could find my heart,
I wonder what life would be like if it hadn't been altered and torn apart.

I wonder what life would be like if I could actually be myself,
I wonder what life would be like if I didn't pretend to be someone else.
Sometimes I wonder about these people I call "friends",
About the pain they caused me that never ends.

Now I've stopped wondering and finally realize,
I can't keep living a life full of lies.
Now I know that the only person i should listen to is me,
Now I know I have to stop being what you want me to be.

**i was pretty upset today about living a life of lies...so i just wrote it...i hope you like it please vote and comment**

    Omg hun...this poem is amazing... one of the best poems I've ever read. It expresses so much pain and emotion.. I am so sorry that you are going through so much. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here, and I'm not just saying that. You're very talented, keep up the great work!

    This is almost identicle to a line in a poem i'm working on now, its cool to find someone going through almost the exact same thing. This poem is also laid out really well, very original. I'm looking forward to reading the rest!
