You're Telling Me

Contributed by Mild_Tempest on Sunday, 2nd April 2006 @ 06:46:15 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



Youre telling me,
Dreams cant come true,
The skys unreachable,
The ocean isnt blue.

Youre telling me,
I can never go anywhere,
Youll always control me,
Youll be here and Ill be there.

Youre telling me,
I can be replaced,
I cant amount to anything,
My life is misplaced.

Youre telling me,
Im nobody, no one,
That I cant shout back,
That I have to be beaten.

Im telling you,
That youre wrong,
That I can change the world,
That I do belong.

Im telling you,
Im not worthless,
That I can protect myself,
Cause lifes a fortress.

So believe me when I say,
That youre wrong to put me down,
And when Im swimming in sorrow,
Ill be alive at the end, that I wont drown.

I know how you feel having people telling you that you can't do it. Makes me want to do it more just to prove them wrong. Good write.

I liked this poem but I will say is was kind of predictable. After reading the first stanza I was pretty sure how it would end. Not that the message isn't great, I think it's awesome. It's just I almost didn't read the whole thing because I knew how it would end. In fact what kept me from stopping was your asking for comments. Keep writing!

i have done and seen things already in my life that very few have had to do or see..
overcoming and proving people wrong is my reason for going.
amazing poem..

Wow nice way to say...F you all I can do it on my own. Good way to stand on your own 2 feet. I like it a lot. It's good to have a strong attitude...it's what makes you someone amongst all the other people. Beautifully put into words!
