that no one would understand YOU.But
YOU never want to let me try.

all the things YOU said.
YOU want to control.
YOU want to be an obsession.

YOU tell me mean things-
to keep me down.
YOU verbally hit me-
to keep me under control.

i don't want YOU to tell me what to do.
i don’t want to live my life for YOU-
if YOU don’t want to do the same for me.

YOU are, indeed, the center of YOUr world.
the only one there-
and YOU leave no room for anyone else.

YOU have a desire to pity YOUrself.
YOU say that i don’t love YOU enough-
but YOU exceed the quota.

YOU want it allBut
YOU don’t want to give.
YOU expect me to understand YOUBut
YOU don’t need to see my side.
YOU say compromise is an evilBut
YOU want me to change.

You're right E9. DLS, you capitalized all the YOU's but didn't capitalize the beginnings of some sentences. There are some spaces missing. I don't think it would take anything away if you capitalized the I's either. Cheers!

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. Â©
