I tell myself not to hide, <br />but then you come along <br />and my true self is deprived <br />I think to myself, 'I'll do better next time' <br /> <br />but you come along again <br />and take over my mind. <br />How do you do this? <br />take over my life? <br /> <br />making me miss <br />all my goals <br />I'm not myself <br />I'm beaten with poles. <br /> <br />Why do you have so much control? <br />I worry about pleasing you <br />and become the bad girl. <br />I'm never myself whenever you're around <br /> <br />and all it's doing <br />is pushing me to the ground. <br />I feel so insecure <br />whenever I'm with you <br /> <br />and I'm sure <br />I don't know what to do. <br />My goal in life <br />is not to please you <br /> <br />so please don't push me <br />to be who I'm not <br />please can't you like me <br />the way I am? <br /> <br />Please don't try to change me <br />or take over my life <br />why can't you see <br />you only cause me strife? <br /> <br />Let me be myself, I know that you will see <br />You'll like me better <br />when I'm truly being me.<br /><br />beautiful imperfection<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-me-be-me-give-me-that-chance/
