this is for my little sister, she is always going with the flow at school, doing what her friends do. but the her that's her friends clone isn't as beautiful as the her that i know. I just want people to know that they're just as beautiful as themselves..... better even.
where are you going?
what are you doing?
you can't do that!
because i'm not! ! !
do this, wear that! ! talk like me
don't act like that! ! !
Sounds familiar?
it's a dominating friend
not letting you do
what you really want
hiding your soul
with their face
telling you you yourself are a disgrace.
telling you to;
to act as told
to talk as spoken to
to be their clone.
but my advice to you is;
don't give in
be your own.
you're beautiful
on your own,
smile with pride
love with your heart
steal kisses
and give out hugs
don't be trapped
don't be let down
have friends that bring out the best in you
not force you
to be their clone.

I would like to translate this poem
I do not call this 'the dominating friend, ' I call this person 'the slave master.' Nice way to delve into the mind of 'the little girl that wants to fit in.' I'm sure your sister will find her way eventually.
