I was being me
You called me a-nnoy-in
Now you laughing' bout a joke I use to tell
Happy of my memory
But its no longer a part of me
And what really gets to me- I don't remember who I use to be
Don't know who I am no more
Laugh about a joke I made
You Dont know I forgot how I said it
Use to come so naturally
But I hid it deep inside of me
Its lost
You still remember me
On the low that's how you wanted me
But you pushed me, judged me
And I left it
I grew up though, I advanced, became better
I lost my style, just because you lost your temper
Now you laughin'
Sayin I was cool back then
I changed for you
But I was already accepted
You led me to believe my insecurity
I Didnt know you like it
But here I am
Being polite to not get rejected
But what's worst is I forgot it
I pretend
Then I lost it
Tried but forgot I already made it
Wanted to be better, I was perfect.
once a vase broke, it Dont go back
One a heart tore, it Dont heal fast.
Once the gun fire, its a dead man
And I was dead mad
But I was worth it
Tried but forgot I already made it
Wanted to be better, I was perfect
I Dont remember who I use to be cuz I changed it.
Hid it deep
I lost it
You Laugh about it
I forgot how I said it
You happy of my memory
Its no longer a part of me
It use to come so naturally
And yeah I want back
Wan it back
I was dead mad
I was perfect

- Comment from author about the poem: I am 13. I wrote this poem to express how I feel about changing to fit someone\'s expectations. The things I wrote in are from experience though. Here\'s the basic story> I use to be very childish and cheerful and my \"best friend\" kept judging me for it. So I stopped. And those times she never laughed at my jokes. Hated them. But today she brought them up, laughed about them. And I miss being that \"free spirit\" kind of girl I use to be. And I want to share because too many teens (adults too maybe) change themselves because of peer pressure. Dont do it.
