The pain of being myself
is something that i had to over come
The look of disappointment in my mothers eyes...
was enough to make me want to die
I cannot change..
I cannot deny...
I cannot forget...
who I am
I love myself and thats all that matters
I do not label
I do not hate
I know now that
I do not have to change
to fit in to todays society
Now, why must you complain to me?
The pain of accepting myself
Was the hardest thing i had to do
Accepting the fact that im different
And that it is okay
I come from a family that is behind the times,
a family that will hate me for who I am,
a family that will deny me
The pain of having the courage to be me
is something that i am still trying to deal with
I will not to label myself
I will not to let anyone tell me how to be
But the thing is...
I am me
and that is all I know
The pain of being myself
is something that i had to over come
I cannot change..
I cannot deny...
I cannot forget...
Who
I
Am

Excellent
I really enjoyed this. A positive message through it but pain pouring from your heart in the process. Just a note...Overcome is one word, you have used it as two in your poem.
Well done and all the very best for the contest.

I do like this. I think that you should be you no matter what your parents, your friends, your neighbirs or society tells you or thinks of you. You are responsible for your own happiness, you need to do what is going to make you happy as long as it isnt hurting anyone else.
Good job poet.

I understand where you are coming from. I have always felt very different from most people. I never had trouble with sticking out and being myself though. Although, my family isn't exactly normal. Haha. Good Write.
