And copy what I see
Well that might work for others
But it doesn't work for me
I would never try to mimick you
My mind is all my own
Plus, just after watching you
I don't like what is shown
So I'll try to be myself thanx
I'm sure it works just fine
I'll use my own brain from now on

Very good write! I can certainly relate to this one. I don't see it as one a first grader would write.. Actually the way I see it the one that treats you this way is well???????
My ex use to treat me this way. Finally one of us had to go and it wasn't me. Ofcourse it was my property.
Hang tough and always be yourself.
PEACE, LUV, JOY,

Exactly. I completely agree. You should never ever allow anyone to turn you into what they want you to be. If someone doesn't like you for you, then screw them. You are who you are, and the only people whose opinions should matter are the people that love that person - you. Good write, and good for you.
