Be Myself

Life is cruel, yet so kind.

I hear them shouting,

shouting how useless I am.


You bring them up all the time,

saying, "why can't you be like them?"

I put my head, thinking how I can go back in time.


Change my life,

be the person they want me to be.

I need to make them see,


that I CAN be someone.

It took time to realise that,

I can be my own me.


I don't need to be someone I am not,

as I can be my own someone,

different, yet unique.


You put me down,

never praised me,

said I was worthless.


But now I have reasons to love myself,

to be the person I am,

but the encouragement didn't come from you.


That encouragement came from friends,

a strong bond that never broke,

they gave me reasons to love myself


Home is one thing,

and school is another.

Complains come and go,


but that's how life is,

you can complain to me,

telling me to be like them.


But I will always be myself no matter what because,

you will be you

and I will be me... 


Author's Note:

Yes, yes I know this is suppose to be a short story thing, but I made a poem this time. It's weird, right? I might make poems at times if I feel like it. Poems aren't my strongest thing and I'm not amazing at them, but I hope you enjoyed it. ^-^ Byeeeee, I wuv you allll!!

P.S. I know there is LOTS of grammar mistakes, but cba.
