Im sorry I don’t belong
Im sorry that everything I do
Always ends up wrong
Im sorry if I cannot be
Everything that you expect
Im sorry if I mistreat you
And don’t give you respect
But try to see things my way
From my point of view
Then maybe you’ll understand
Why I still hate you
Through these eyes that see wicked things
I see you deny what’s clear
That you do not accept me
You only fill my eyes with tears
Im sorry if I do not meet
Your expectations im burdened with
You beat the truth down so deep
Till I am sore and stiff
Im sorry that I refuse to change
That I won’t fall for your scam
Im sorry that it ended up this way
But not sorry for who I am

I absoluly LOVE this poem! especially the last four lines. There's nothing wrong with change, as long as it's what you really want. but no one should ever change because someone else wants them to. i have the words Nosce Te Ipsum tatooed on the right half of my rib cage(yeah it hurt) it's latin for Know thyself. It's my firm belief that all you need to live a happy life is to truely know yourself, and once you've got that you just have to be yourself. and again, i love your poem. great write, and thanks for sharing it with us.

Such a great poem. Tin was right, those last 4 lines... wow. Such spirit, such resistance to normalcy and sameness and mindless compliance. Individuality! independence! Viva la blue_angel! Life works so hard to strip us of our dignity, of who we are. At home, school, work, it's always the same. You've taken your share of the bad that life offers but your defiance to losing you, who you are, is so encouraging. Keep writing and I'll keep reading! :)

This was a good write it had emotion in it and was sad but in a good way. You lost a love but stood up for yourself which hurts at first but is better in the end. Another great write and it was much enjoyed. It was written like it was your thoughts voiced right out on to the page. Thank you for sharing this and take care….Steve
