Three Days Grace 'Just Like You' based poem

[Thatemokid99]

This is one of my more mild poems. I'm new at this so please don't flame.

 

I COULD BE MEAN

I snap at school,

I turn away from those who need me.

I know I'm a fool,

For feeling this way. 

I COULD BE ANGRY

I tell them to go away

They just don't listen. 

I tell them that they can't stay,

But they just don't hear. 

YOU KNOW I COULD BE JUST LIKE YOU

I know that life's hard,

You claimed to know. 

But I keep my guard,

So I don't turn out like you. 

I COULD BE FAKE

Is this real,

Am I real?

What's the deal, 

With this screwed up world?

I COULD BE STUPID

Am I just a fool,

For thinking these thoughts?

I just jump into the pool,

Of emptiness. 

YOU KNOW I COULD BE JUST LIKE YOU

I know that life's hard,

You claimed to know.

But I'm not a retard,

I won't be like you. 

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THERE TO 

GUIDE ME.

I walked through the front door,

I dropped my back pack on the ground. 

You smiled at me and asked about my day,

Inside, my head began to pound. 

YOU WERE ONLY IN MY WAY

You think you're easing my strife,

By telling me to work hard, study hard. 

But on the inside, 

I hate my life. 

YOU'RE WRONG IF YOU THINK I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU

I struggle past the temptation,

Of ending the pain. 

I feel that disgusting sensation,

Of you seeing me as the mirror of you. 

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THERE TO 

GUIDE ME.

I walked through the front door,

I dropped my back pack on the ground. 

You smiled at me and asked about my day,

Inside, my head began to pound. 

YOU WERE ONLY IN MY WAY

You think you're easing my strife,

By telling me to work hard, study hard. 

But on the inside, 

I hate my life. 

YOU'RE WRONG IF YOU THINK I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU

I struggle past the temptation,

Of ending the pain. 

I feel that disgusting sensation,

Of you seeing me as the mirror of you. 

I COULD BE COLD

I catch myself watching you sleep,

I catch myself hating you. 

I try to stop it,

But I am too deep. 

I COULD BE RUTHLESS

The thoughts that come to mind,

Are merciless. 

And now I find,

That I don't even care that I'm heartless. 

YOU KNOW I COULD BE JUST LIKE YOU

I know life's hard,

You claimed to know. 

So I'm gonna lay down the card;

You're nothing to me. 

I COULD BE WEAK

I shed these tears,

I'm helpless tonight.

I'm swallowed by fears,

I'm swallowed by fright. 

I COULD BE RUTHLESS

I scream to the wind,

I don't hold back. 

Then I just grinned,

Because what I say about you is true. 

YOU KNOW I COULD BE JUST LIKE YOU

I know life's hard,

You claimed to know. 

And now I feel my way barred,

By your unwanted concern. 

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE STANDING BESIDE ME

You think you mean so much,

It's time for reality. 

I hate such,

Ridiculous thoughts. 

YOU WERE ONLY IN MY WAY

You think you're easing my strife, 

By telling me to study hard, work hard. 

But on the inside,

I want to end my life. 

YOU'RE WRONG IF YOU THINK I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU

I struggle past the temptation,

Of ending the pain. 

I feel that disgusting sensation,

Of you seeing me as the mirror of you. 

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THERE TO GUIDE ME

I walked through the front door,

I dropped my back pack on the ground. 

You smiled at me and asked about my day,

Inside, I heard no sound. 

YOU WERE ONLY IN MY WAY

You tried to ease my strife,

By telling me to work hard, study hard.

But on the inside,

I wanted to take your life. 

YOU'RE WRONG IF YOU THINK I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU

I struggle past the temptation,

Of ending the pain. 

I feel that disgusting sensation,

Of you seeing me as the mirror of you. 

ON MY OWN, CAUSE I CAN'T TAKE LIVING WITH YOU

I run away,

I can't take it anymore. 

You begged me to stay,

I can't, you think I'm four. 

I'M ON MY OWN SO I WON'T TURN OUT LIKE YOU WANT ME TO

I don't like having a heart,

This isn't good. 

But it's just a start,

No need to worry. 

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE STANDING BESIDE ME

You think you mean so much,

It's time for reality. 

I hate such,

Ridiculous thoughts. 

YOU WERE ONLY IN MY WAY

You tried to ease my strife,

By telling me to work hard, study hard.

But on the inside,

I wanted to run for my life. 

YOURE WRONG IF YOU THINK I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU

I struggle past the temptation,

Of ending the pain. 

I feel that disgusting sensation,

Of you seeing me as the mirror of you. 

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THERE TO GUIDE ME

I walked through the front door,

I dropped my back pack on the ground. 

You smiled at me and asked about my day,

Inside, my mind was just a mound. 

YOU WERE ONLY IN MY WAY

You tried to ease my strife,

By telling me to work hard, study hard.

But on the inside,

I wanted to take up the knife. 

YOU'RE WRONG IF YOU THINK I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU

I struggle past the temptation,

Of ending the pain. 

I feel that disgusting sensation,

Of you seeing me as the mirror of you. 

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THERE TO GUIDE ME

I walked through the front door,

I dropped my back pack on the ground. 

You smiled at me and asked about my day,

Inside, I wished to be found. 

YOU WERE ONLY IN MY WAY

You tried to ease my strife,

By telling me to work hard, study hard.

But on the inside,

I wondered about the afterlife. 

YOU'RE WRONG IF YOU THINK I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU

I struggle past the temptation,

Of ending the pain. 

I feel that disgusting sensation,

Of you seeing me as the mirror of you. 

I CAN BE MEAN 

I snap at school,

I turn away from those who need me.

I know I'm a fool,

For feeling this way. 

I COULD BE ANGRY

I tell them to go away

They just don't listen. 

I tell them that they can't stay,

But they just don't hear. 

YOU KNOW I CAN BE JUST LIKE YOU

I know life's hard,

You claimed to know. 

But I keep my guard,

So I don't turn out just like you.
