Array ( [sid] => 107776 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Be Like You, Be Like Me [time] => 2005-10-15 06:33:25 [hometext] => This is a poem about being forced to conform even though you don't want to. This is something a lot of my lyrics are about [bodytext] => I used to feel hate
I used be dark
I used to have a face
I used to have a past

Now that I’ve changed
I’ve realized you’re wrong
I want to go back
I need to go back

I can’t stand to be the same
I wanna stand out
I don’t care about the shame
I wanna go back
I don’t wanna be like you
I don’t need your approval
I just wanna be me

Now I feel like nothing
Even though I smile
I try, I try, I try to be
But I’m not you, I’m just me

You told me what to do
You told me what to be
I don’t wanna be like you
I just wanna be like me

I used to feel hate
I used be dark
I used to have a face
I used to have a past

I can’t be the same
I wanna stand out
I don’t care about the shame
I wanna go back
I don’t wanna be you
I don’t want your approval
I just wanna be me! [comments] => 5 [counter] => 278 [topic] => 34 [informant] => CarlyCaz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Carly this is awesome, but I kind of expected that. I can relate to it as I am sure many others will be able to.
