***it Don'T Have Much To Do With Me As I Think It Does***

Rating: 5.0


Why ask for help,
when the people you ask,
just point out your flaws?
In time of needs,
you suppose to be lift up,
not be controlled of everything,
that you are not doing right,
limited from having things,
feel like a prisoner,
if you took the time to know me,
believe me I would tell you more things,
hiding how I’m feeling,
is so much easier than getting net picked,
for just being human,
I’m not perfect,
stop trying to make me feel like I have to be,
I’m just me,
the only difference is,
I’m starting to be okay showing who I am,
I don't have to be perfect,
being perfect push people to suicide,
and even by than if I don't complete it right,
I’m still left feeling like a failure,
so I learned something along the way,
it never about anybody else,
it only about me.

So very true, we must be comfortable in our own skin, it doesn't matter what other people think of you. You do not have to live their lives or lies, being yourself is being perfect because each of us is unique! I made up a saying years ago, I remind myself of it when I feel the way you described in your poem. It's none of my business what other people think of me. Keeps things in perspective for me. Really insightful and wonderful poem, Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
