"You expect me to be someone I'm not"

Thats the phrase that nobody ever wants to hear and i find it can be one of the most painful.
To be accepted for who we are is not much to ask.
This poem portrayed that excellently
Well done
5/5

Aw! This poem was really sad, but very beautifully written. I know many people can relate to this. There's so much pain pouring from these words. How hard it must be to not be accepted for who you are. I definitely agree with what you said at the end. You should [always] be yourself.. and don't change for anyone, but you.

Excellent.

This poem is soo deep and yet soo powerful well done.. and it is ture.. lots of girls especially can really realate to that .. I really love the ryhmes, but it was mostly about the point but it showed me that and THAT is what I love about this poem. LOVE IT!! good job and keep up the work!! 5/5

Very very sad but well written...It is a very powerful poem and everything flows so nicely!! You are a great writter...Keep it up...And thanks for your comments!

Great messege!The poem had a rocky flow. YOu could have used the same amount of lines in each stanza it would have given the poem more organization if you get my drift.
LOl. Ok other than that, great poem!
Thank you for commenting on my poem and rating it! God Bless 5/5

It is good when someone is trying to change you but you tell them off for doing it. No one should have to change who they are just to please some one else. It was a great poem. I loved it. 5/5

"You want me to change
What I've been for years
You expect me to be more out-spoken
When all I am is shy"

I love those lines^ and people can relate to this poem alot. I'm kinda shy and i get people telling me to talk more. it gets annoying. great poem. very well written. 5/5

Well I'll be darned, I think that one poem might have put you on my favorites, I liked this right of the bat more than i can explain, I completely relate to this, and was suprised to see the thoughts that I've thought in the first poem of yours i read. I liked this alot, thanks for posting

EXCELENT! this poem was great! people are mean but u have to ignore their comments and live life how u want to, you have to be strong, very good poem keep it up

Pressure to be something you are not is one of the worst feelings. each and every individual should be accepted and admired for who they are. great work once again!

I like it and i can relate which made me love it more

Good point, its hard to be you when everyone around you is telling you that you should be more like someone else. Stay strong, stick to yourself and your guns and things should work out in the end. Wonderful idea I really liked it.

"Ever since I was little
Its always been like this:
"You gotta talk more"
"You gotta do this"
"You gotta be like HER""

Not at all what I was expecting; it's a nice start.

"It pains me to hear
You don't like me the way I am
You want me to change
What I've been for years
You expect me to be more out-spoken
When all I am is shy"

This is the strongest part of your poem.

"You expect me to do things
I'm incapable of doing
You expect me to be someone I'm not

You love a person for who they are
Not what they pretend to be
If this is true
Then why don't you love me?

All I want is people to love me the way I am
& not try to change me
Or tell me how to be
All I want is to be ME!"

It started to get cliche then.

Though your message was great, your choice of topic was so blah. I was hoping for a good twist in such an overused subject.

Your ending was disappointing, but I trust you can do better since you started off great.

4/5

(")-(") Arrivederci!

I love this poem and what it represents. I agee with you one should not request tht someone change who they are, pretending to be someone thay will never become......Very well written. It keept me intrested the entire way though it. 5/5

Excellent poem, I enjoyed this, I like the fact that you didnt try to put too much effort into keeping it poetic, its like you just threw it out there based on your emotions, and i thought that was very good. Thanks for commenting on my poems, the more you do, the more I will.

"You expect me to be someone I'm not"

I LOVE this poem.. Such a great message. But such a sad point though. If people would love me for me, i probably wouldn't write some of the poems I write. But hey...

5/5

''you expect me to be someone I'm not''

I adore that line...how true it is for to many people...

I thought this was beautiful...the emotion can be seen through the words and the ending is wonderfully wrapped up and hard hitting.
