I am Who I am

I am my own person
And this is a fact
If you got a problem
Just take a step back1

You can not change
The way i live my life
If you got a problem
You better think twice2

I will not argue
And I will not fight
If when you see my face,
You don’t like the sight3

Gripe and moan
All that you please
Call me names,
But im not a sleaze4

Before you talk
Look at yourself
You’re far from a Barbie
Stuck on a shelf5

Your hairs not perfect
You have your flaws
And its not as if
Im breaking laws6

Because what you do
Is soooo much better
I’ll stop you there
Don’t pull my tether 7

So before you start
All up on me
Get a clue
From what you see8

I am my own person
And this is a fact
If you got a problem
Just take a step back

Author notes

My inspiration to write this is beacuse im tired of everyone thinking they are better then everyone else! No one is better or worse, you are just only you! Being you only makes you...the same! You are not like anyone else there for you are not better or worse. This goes out to everyone at bhc**** my old school which i wont spell out, i want you all to see now who ive become no thanks to you. I am now a better ME and i never want to be any of YOU.

    Such a nice poem! ^^
    It speaks the truth about people now. I have been guilty of this at some points in my life, even if I try to avoid it.

    I like this poem, but poetry is not accepted in this contest. Allpoetry is our sister site that's focused on poetry and your username and password will work there. You can go to that site by clicking the 'Poetry' link at the bottom of the page.

    The flow of this poem is pretty good, but might be improved. I thought that the rhyme was excellent. You clearly demonstrate your point in the poem.

    nice

    Even though this isn't really a story, I did not say you could not do poetry. However, this isn't as far out as what as what I was looking for, because I have read a lot of poetry like this that was similar. The image that struck me most, was the one where you kind of said: you don't look that much like a barbie doll yourself, which was a good line, because it allowed me to see the person who was writing this very clearly. As a poem, this is pretty good, but for this contest, it wasn't really what I was looking for. You also never put your inspiration for this idea in your authors notes. If you could do that please...I don't want to have to DQ you.

    Thank you for entering my contest

    Touching!

    That was extremely touching. It touched me down deep. It made me stop and think. That was just very moving. It moved me around the world again and again. LOL. But seriously. This was really good. I felt a personal connection to it. You should write more like this.

    This is really good, true on so many levels. Just go through and capitalise the 'i's and put in apostrophes to make it really shine.

    This is really good. And this poem is so true. You are who you are. Nobody can change that. Really great job with this poem, one of the very best I've read. Great job and good luck in my contest.

    This is interesting I have written a poem similar to this one called "I am" I have it on AP for sure. I am not sure if I have it posted here on storywrite.

    Anyway, I for one am glad that you are you. For life would be very boring if everyone were the same here on this earth.

    Good write. Liked the rythuming... didn't seem forced at all. Flowed well. And kept my interesting. Good job.
