Poem
All I ever wanted and all I ever had were never the same I tried my best to be perfect Trying to be what they wanted and playing their stupid game I gave and I gave until I had nothing left inside of me I tried so hard to make them proud Just wasted efforts because they never cared to see Instead they pointed fingers and judged me for flaws created in their head Smiling in my face While everyone judged me for the rumors that they spread No matter what I conquered and despite all that I achieved Never once was it good enough And I remained this person that they all believed I worked my hands to the bone struggling day by day I worked so hard to be my best But they still only had bad things to say Not once did they ever see the truth or tell me they were proud As if I were invisible The outcast who stood out in the crowd They never saw the failure in the others but expected some from me Nothing ever made that change One day I stopped trying to become what I’d never be Tired of feeling ashamed for the lies that they would say Eventually I gave up trying to please them Knowing that it would always be this way They never took the time to see me for who I was or who I had become Instead they judged and looked down at me Permanently labeling me for my past mistakes which I had done To them I’d never amount to anything more So I finally gave up trying They were supposed to build me up but knocked me to the floor Too busy making accusations of things that they had no clue Assuming this or that Spreading rumors about me so everyone believed the lies were true I stopped and told myself to simply walk away I realized It didn’t matter Because I am proud of the person that I am today So to those of you who see me as someone weak or flawed u couldn’t be more wrong I am someone special And I am someone strong No longer will I allow your judgments to hold me back from what I deserve and need I refuse to give you power over me Without you setting me up for failure I will succeed You weren’t there when I needed you and you waited for me to fail when I got to the top I no longer will be your victim From this day on it will stop So go ahead and spread your lies if it makes you feel better inside Think what you wish of me Anyone who truely knows me will know that you lied No longer will I allow myself to let it affect me or care what others think or say Come up with something more clever to say next time I refuse to stoop to your level and for you I shall pray When I look into the mirror upon my reflection I see the person I became What do you see staring at u Do u see someone real or do you see your shame
