Just wanted to vent a bit so I thought I'd post some non-poetry (no rhyme scheme and more of a rant than a poem). Constructive criticism is welcome. Other members please share your poems if you wish.
Being Free
I want to be free to be me
I want to be happy to be me
I want to be comfortable being me
I don’t want to feel pressured into being someone else
I don’t want to feel judged for being me
I don’t want to feel the crushing judgement
The instant dislike
The mistrust
Don’t grind me into dust
The lack of belief is dragging me down
Down
Down
How can I be free?
How can I avoid the judgement?
How can I get people to accept that I, just like they, am an individual?
Am I human?
I am human
I am made to feel inhuman
I am different
I am not the same as them
But I am still HUMAN
Homo Sapiens Freakus
Is that me?
Am I a different species of human?
That is how I am made to feel
I look the same
Or similar at least
But my behaviour
That’s different
Equality
We need equality
For everyone
Not just a select few
But for EVERYONE
Repetition
Repetition
Repetition
Repetition
I sometimes like repetition
But that’s not “normal”
So people make comments
So-called “friends” make comments
Who can I trust then?
If not people who claim to be friends?
Who?
Me
I can trust me
I should trust me
I can trust me
I will trust me
