Poems and Short Stories

Me

I love you...,

But to be with you,

you won't let me be me,

I have to be something i'm not,

Like to be a bird,

or a tree,

But how can i be a bird if i cannot fly,

And how can i be a tree if a tree does not walk,

How can i be anything other than me,

And I do love you,

But how am i to spend my whole life,

Pretending that i'm someone else,

Something else,

Like a fish or a cat,

But how am I to breathe under the seas,

How am i to climb and meow,

How am i to be,

any other thing,

but what i already am,

I know you say you don't want to be with a boy,

But then why do you say that you love me,

If you love me,

then why can i not be me,

The me that i was born to be,

The me that i have learned to be,

The only me that i will ever see,

Do you not love the me that i am,

You said you knew that you could change me,

Was that,

and is that still your plan,

If you love me than you cannot change me,

If you love me then you will love me for me,

Because i am me,

and that's all i can ever be,

And if you do truly love me,

Than you will understand and see,

And i will try to be the best me i can be,

I'm not a boy and can never be,

But on the inside that's who i am,

And when i am i am free,

I cannot be anything other than me

I cannot be the clouds...or the Autumn leaves,

See i do not float across the sky,

my feet stay upon the ground,

And i don't fall from the trees,

and float back down,

But i can smile my best smile,

And love you unconditionally,

I'll even try my hardest to comfort you when you're sad,

I'm sorry but i cannot be a girl,

That's just not who i am,

I love you

And i'll always love you,

Until i die,

And even after then,
