what I had to be

I should be creative
I should be smart
I have to like being outdoors
I should be reading everyday

I shouldn't be emotional
and overreact every time
I should have more friends
go out some more and have a boyfriend

I should have had sex,
I should've never cheated
I should die because I'm not pretty
I should stay anorexic because I'm a cow

I shouldn't cut, because of what?
because people tell me so?
but if you've seen this list of things,
people want me to be,
you think I'll listen to their advice ever again?

I wanna live my life, so just let me be myself

I HATE it when people bring me down like that, comparing their PERFECT life with my life

    nice poem. "but if you've seen this list of things,
    people want me to be,
    you think I'll listen to their advice ever again?

    I wanna live my life, so just let me be myself" i can ttly understand this. ppl always tell u who u should and shouldnt b. they dont realize that all u should b is urself, not all that stuff they wish u were. If they rly want to be around someone like that, then they should just go find someone else that does those things and hang out with them instead.

    People can tell you how to live your life but you always have the choice not to listen. I only listen to the people who i care about and i know care about me, everyone eles can tell me what they think but i dont hear a thing, i tune them out , cause there opinion dosent matter. Great write
