You always say that
nothings ever good enough
but you need to stop comparing me
Because:

I'm not her.
I'm not him.
and I can't be
what you want me to be.

I struggle, ad I struggle
to find that perfect place
that's just mine.

But I know that if I do
nothing will ever been
good enough for you.

I'm not her.
I'm not him.
and I can't be
what you want me to be.
I can only ever be just me.

Some nights I wander,
wondering if I'll ever be
good enough. But as I look
upon the sky
there's nothing there
asking for me to change.

So I'll just realize
that I can only ever be just me.

Because,
I'm not her.
I'm not him.
And I can't be
what you want me to be.
I can only ever be just me.
So this is something that I played around with after my graduation speech (which was about expectations). Let me know what you think!

excellent!! this explains alot about how people are trying to convert other artists online to be just like them even though god put them on earth for a reason to be themselves they cant change who you are its what god whats you to be like for me Garfield drawing style was the first to inspire me to draw in the first place and people try to change me art style even though they cant because its who Iam and no person online can change the fact that that's what Iam and ill dam well be like that until the day i die this poem also reminds me of crazy crazy nights performed by kiss Paul Stanley sings that you cant change who he is because that's what he he born to become and this poem spreads a very powerful message to all artists around the world that you cant change who they are its whats god wants them to be !! but overall you too have also reminded me that people cannot ever change for who Iam cause Iam me! and as me i can do whatever i want to success in the career in art so thank you the-golden-sunrise <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart"/>
