#criticizing poems on Hello Poetry

Mya Oct 2018

you look back at the school
and see your tantalizer standing in the doorway
and realize they have been telling you lies about your self and criticizing you by your size
When you look up at the sky
And realize how bright the sun is in your eyes
you look around and see that the world is so much
more fuller and beautiful than they tell you it is
you see the fluttering the butterflies
and hear the chirping of the chickadees hopping around in the grass
you hear the running of water from the creek behind your home

Take Me As I Am, My Own **** Person

I don't owe you anything for what I've
"put you through"
So what if I like my head shaved?
So what if I like having metal adorning my face?
So what if I like to wear what I want?
So why not express my inner creativity on the outer surface?
Am I not to be happy in my own skin?
I nurture who I am
I love the way I look
And I am not sorry that being true to myself offends you
Mom
Just be happy I still want to be in your life
Be happy with me
And take me as I am or not at all.

To all those narrow-minded people,
******* all in the ******

Whose Got The Answers (sort of like a song)

Whose got the answers?
Rise oh rise!
Whose got the answers now?

Whose criticizing?
Oh rise, oh rise?
Whose criticizing now?

Who thinks they know,
and who knows they think?

Trumping their thoughts,
onto me?

Who knows what's right,
and who knows what's wrong?

Who has the answers to fix everyone?

Tell me, oh tell me,
I just have to know,
whose got the answers now?

— The End —
