aquabubbles2001 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I Am Who I Am You can think what you think But you won't change me You can say what you say But you won't move me You can do what you do But you won't hurt me I am strong and unwilling I know my roots And my past If I am what you say what you do what you think Then I'm proud of it and I would say I Am Who I Am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Wazowski Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 No insult intended, but it's that kind of thinking that is destroying the American way of life. People unwilling to change, stubborn, unmoving......NoT good..not good at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquabubbles2001 Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 this isnt changing or not changing.. change is good.. but to change for someone isnt.. this poems expresses to be urself no matter wat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Wazowski Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Are you trying to say that to change for someone is not good???? So if i am a wife beating drunk, I should just accept who I am and tell my wife to Deal With it.....??? Or should I try to change for her sake and mine? People who use the line "I am what I am, and I'm not changing for anyone" are the selfish losers that are destroying our society..... Maybe when you get past the age of 16 where most teenagers think that they know it All...then maybe you will understand what I am talking about! peace! And No disrepect intended!

ShySoul Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Change can be couldd and bad, it depends on who you were to begin with and what your changing into. A wife beating drunk who has the attitude that he doesn't have to change is wrong and dangerous. But someone who is a good person at heart and refuses to change their good nature in the face of a sometimes cruel world or under harsh circumstances is doing the right thing.

ShySoul Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 That should say "Change can be good and bad." And nice poem. The idea of staying true to yourself is one of the best things you can do, provided you are a good person to begin with. At 16, its a good value to have considering all the pressures their are at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok lets look at it in another way.. Would u change your belief or who you are just cause someone said so? I mean just cause Im 16 doesnt mean I should change my opinions to match yours.. and thats wat this poem means.. like now should I humbly aggree with you just to please you, no.. This poem is who I am.. and if someone belittles me cause of my ethnicity, my culture, even cause Im different.. then I recite this poem.. and they realize that no one is the same.. Im not saying not change.. everyone changes everyday.. Im just saying dont change for other people change for yourself.. If a drunk beats his wife, he changes cause he realize wat he becomes.. and thats the only way they change for the better.. And please I beg of you not get my age involved in this.. I might be 16 but I never said im a know-it-all..I just express how I feel.. and I dont believe expressing this in a poem is wrong.. if it is.. then just look up to that poem cause thats who I am..

Angel88 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I enjoyed your poem. It's about loving yourself, and being confident with who you are. If you change for everybody then you have no self-identity. Good Poem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
