i know that you believe you understand what you think i said, but im not sure you realize that what you heard is not what i meant.


Am I what you asked for?
Am I not what you expected?
Am I different?
We are all different.
We are all not what is expected.
If I am not what you want, then leave me.
Because I will not change for you.

It's not about success; it's about significance.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

So, so true! I definitely know what it's like to have someone who wants me to change for them. I think we all do at some point. When will people start to understand that if they can't accept people for who they are, then they aren't worth having?

I really liked this poem and understand what you are trying to articulate. You made such a large and meaningful message in such a brief poem, and I congrajulate you for it.
