I am a Circle

I am a Circle

I am a circle
I am not square
Do not tell me to change the colour of my hair
to fit in better with you and your share
of supposed friends

You all look alike
Act the same
Wear the same clothes and same old lame
words that hurt me and make me feel shame
for living as me

Do not mould me
Embrace who I am
Like you I feel hurt and like the Lamb
I will not hate you or berate the same old sham
of who you are

I am a circle
It's you that is square
Do not try to change me, I cannot and will not bear
the same as you do in your lair
of wickedness

Don't try to change me
Are you happy?  No.
Then let me be

This is good material, but i think you should use a bit more punctuation as it's basically one giant sentence, with the acceptions of one full-stop, one question-mark and one comma.

Thanks,

I really liked your poem. It could do with some work  (I can't put my finger on quite what but I think something needs changing).  It is an interesting and emotional poem. Your rejection of "following the herd" is fascinating. Still you will have a lonely life if you turn people away because they want you to look like them. In a way it's another form of caring. They want to share something they have found that works.


Well Done!

btw
Nice use of punctuation. The last verse and the "no." were powerful and the ending was strong.

Excellent Poem. The use of words to describe how you feel and the way people need to be reminded that we are all individuals - not robots! Well done.
