Not Gonna Change

You judge me for beileving in what I do But here's the difference between me and you You say I'm in the wrong But what makes you right? You can't tell me that You always try to fix me But you don't fix yourself What makes you better than me? What makes you the one who's perfect. No one is so why do you think you are? Why do you put me down... To lift yourself up? Why can you do no wrong? You crush others To build yourself Because you are unhappy So you make others that way But what help does that do? It just creates enmies and fights You say I need a change... But I'm not going to Not for you Or anyone else Because I know what is right for me Even if soceity says it's wrong

I love this, Brittany... I can totally relate to this, because I am currently going through something similar. Someone wants me to change for them and I am trying to stay strong for me. Nicely done, I look forward to reading more of your poetry! --Katie
