He who is bound to a star does not turn back.<br /> Leonardo Di Vinci<br /> <br /> You see I&#039;m a bit of a poet, and you did not know it! What!?<br /> ~Sir Percy Blakeney


You push me down

but its alright,

because the only thing that will cut me

is the tear I shed tonight.

 

You drag me around

but it's not worth fighting.

because I can find this release in writing.

 

You laugh at my words,

but the ones that matter to you are

barbie doll, popular, and size two.

 

You laugh but don't realize

the tears that cut my skin 

aren't for me, but for you

because you will never win.

I think your poem is absolutely amazing. I love it because I can relate to it. Nobody know that I write poetry, everyone thinks of me as a bubbly air head with a pretty face. Your poem has really inspired me to speak up about my deeper thoughts and not worry about other people's opinions.
