Never Going to Be

by Poetess Lana   Jun 3, 2007


I am by no means going to be
What you want... so
Do not shape me to fit your sleeve.
I can only be myself and
You must live with it.

I'm so sick of you
Driving me into the ground because
I "could be so much more, do so
Much more with my life".
If I could do more with my
Life I would.

I would reach for the stars,
Spread my wings and soar to
New heights open my mind...
But I cannot fly if you oppress me.

I could be whole, I could live
My own life and drive myself to be
Better, to be good enough for you
To finally love me for what I am.

I am never, ever going to be you.

    Know the feeling ;] The poem is really good =] Some parts really make you say Wow =) examples:
    - But I cannot fly if you oppress me. Just a beautiful sentence, which says a lot.
    -Do not shape me to fit your sleeve. And again just a nice sentence =]
    Good work.

    I love how simple, yet so powerful this poem is at the same time. It uses simple language, which suits this poem very well, and it really shows how you feel, and that you are strong in the way you think. Which is always good on this topic. It was written very well, good job. =] 5/5
