You can't change me

Tony36

You hate me

I love you

You despise me

I love you

 

You want to see me

Fall

Fail

Hurt

Broken

 

I want to see you

Fly

Succeed

Be built up

 

You try and you try to bring me down

You can't change me

No matter how hard you try

I am still who I am 

And nothing you say or do will change that

That's right NOTHING

 

Go ahead do your worst

It will do you no good

    Tony is this one that you reworked? It sounds very similar to another of yours recently. Well done and asserting ones right to be who one is. A lovely work.

      Thank you, and yes it is a rework

      • sorenbarrett

        I remember your poems Tony

        It's a beautiful reality, isn't it, though?! Even the feeble attempts to change myself fail. Only the LORD can change us. Yet we assail our fellows and painfully try to change them! Ridiculous. Excellently rendered with lovely imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. So far as I've seen, there's not a woman who marries without the unconscious thought she'll change him afterwards.

          A lovely write of standing up for who you are and want to be, why do people go to so much effort trying to change someone I'll never know, enjoyed the read
