So tonight i crawl back inside myself, <br />the only place that's safe, <br />from the paralyzing judgement, <br />you hand out like free samples of lemon aid, <br />I have stood and taken it, <br />thinking maybe if i am strong i can win your love, <br />maybe just a little pride, <br />regardless after everything you feel nothing, <br />you were supposed to be someone i could come to, <br />someone i could love, <br />but its hard when all that person does is look down on you, <br />and i can promise you mother of mine, <br />what the life i live is driven by, <br />Its driven by the hate, the hurt, <br />you caused my heart to feel, <br />and i know you don't believe in me, <br />but this i know, <br />I will prove you wrong about me, <br />show you who i can really be, <br />If its the last thing i do, <br />I WILL NEVER BE LIKE YOU! ! !<br /><br />Kayla Corinne Beneteau<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-will-never-be-like-you/
