Disappointing, huh?
I am not who you think I am
I will not be who you want me to be
I won't be brainwashed by what you say
I refuse to see what you want me to see
I don't want to do what you want me to
I reject the path you want me to walk
I discard that which you want me to hear
I decline what you say when you talk
I will write what I want to write
I will sing what I want to sing
I will dance when I want to dance
I won't let you bind my wings
I'm your worse nightmare come to life for
I don't care what you say or do
I have a mind of my own whether you like it or not
I believe what I want to
I won't let you lead me by the hand
I won't believe your lies
I won't let you put words in my mouth
I won't gaze at you with trusting eyes
I am going to question everything you tell me
I am going to seperate the truth from the lies
I am going to pick your answers apart
I won't put up with your sad little sighs
I do what I want
I say what's real
I hear what you hide
I ignore the disgust you feel
I live this life for it is mine
I take each step like it's my last
I will make this life worth living
I will never regret the past
I am being immature and rude
I am acting like a dumb adolescent
I am being horribly outspoken
I am not trying to be brilliant or intelligent
Disappointing, huh?

Notes: I believe this was written for a high school poetry class. I got a kick out of writing this to a teacher who was rather bitchy. It's a rather common poem, but I do think the end makes it a little better.
