My Dreams

I will be who I want to be
You can joke around about me 
And say my dreams are all crazy
And tell me you hate 
What I love
And you tell me
I should hate it too
And then you laugh
Like you just told the funniest joke
Ever. 
And you think it doesn’t hurt me
When you say that
But it really screws me up inside
Sometimes I think I should hate myself
And sometimes I just want to die
Because you make it seem
Like I will NEVER reach my dreams,
No matter how far I reach.

Anonymous Miller, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
