I am who I am
And that is how it shall be
No one can change my personality
No mattter how much I hate myself sometimes
Life can get rather hard t times
But I stay standing
Fighting it all
Never giving up
Never giving in to all those ridiculous demands
I am real
More than I can fathom
I can't take it sometimes
Nothing seems to go exactly my way
It's always just a little behind
But I can still dream
Dream of a life without evil
Without war
Without prejudice
But we are nowhere near achieving this dream
The world will always have evil, war, and prejudice
No matter how hard I pray for them not to be
I want to live
Live free and easy
But it can't happen yet
Not just yet
Thought I may not express myself openly
By physical protest
I still have my beliefs
Beliefs, which make up who I am
I am real
More than I can fathom
I am who I am
And that is how it shall be [comments] => 1 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 21 [informant] => undead_poet14 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

good for you! so many people are afraid to be themselves, it takes a strong person to be just who they are...great powerful poem, keep writing, Kate x

"you can only ever be less than what you're not and more than that which you already are, if you understand what you already know and seek to learn all you don't yet understand...above all else, be the person you are today..."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
