i am me and i belong
i am me you wont succeed
i am me with dignity

you are you, and play the part
you are you, play with hearts
you are you,play the game
you are you, will live in shame

i am me, i know the game
i am me, i know no shame
i am me, i dont take part
i am me, i have a heart

you are you, and still play
you are you, want your way
you are you, will not rest
you are you, want no less

i am me, will not play
i am me, for another day
i am me, i am true
i am me, better than you [comments] => 4 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 56 [informant] => paula_kay23 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => sarcasticpoetry )

Nice write. A lot of us are raised with criticism from the moment we're old enough to speak. It's a hard habit to break.

Nice work i used to suffer from what i call youngest child syndrom, where my brothers and sisters would judge me and critisize me at every opportunity so i can really identify with this one.

Insightful words and an interesting technique, the repetition was heaps effective. I must have missed the sarcasm though...
