Why do I always have to be what you want me to be?
Why cant I just be me?
Why did I fall for you so easily?
Why did I give meself so wholly?
Why do you only need me when someones broken your heart?
Knowing every time it rips mine apart
I always catch you when you fall
But do you care for me, even a little at all?
I've never asked you to love me
Cos i knew it was never going to be
and although you know how I feel
You act as if its no big deal.
Would you notice if I wasnt there?
Would you even care,
If I just disappeared
Walked out of your life
Left you alone to deal with the strife
Whenever I need someone your never there
Sometimes it just doesnt seem fair
I've tried hard to give what you want of me
But my best is never good enough to be
So from your ties I'm cutting free
Its time to be Just Me [comments] => 4 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Evilcaf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

This is really good, and I can relate to it. Also, I love how strong you come out to be in the ending. I hope if this is true, that your ending isnt just made up, but is also real.

beautiful well written poem - can relate to it
it just showed the some peoples tend to take advantages of us with their selfish needs - we give but they tend to never give back
well done

Wow what an impact this has. Your conclusion made the whole thing so great. Just the realization that who you are should not need to be changed! Those who do not appreciate are missing out... you're someone great
