You Can't Change Me

So sick of people trying To change everything in me Maybe even I don't know Who it was I used to be If I did this, or I did that Would I then be accepted? Even then it doesn't seem Worth all my pain suscepted I've been pressured and prodded To meet the expectations In love and home and those unknown Life will never take vacations Loyal family and friends Suggest I remain the same But the hypocracy sets in The words leave as swift as they came My instincts scream to rebel But something holds me back The need and want for the love The recognition that I lack I could try forever Perfection I've never known If this is what you ask of me This house will never be a home © KLLK 2005 *Author's Note: This poem was written while I was feeling like I could do nothing right for anyone.*
