Inner Struggle

I feel the weight of the world
Upon my hardened shoulders
Try to conform, they say
But to what standard, I ask
I see none that appease
My questions and ideals
For I feel too strongly
About too many things
I cannot become anything
Of which I abhor
Some laugh at me
For my standoffish behavior
Still, others mock me
For refusal of losing myself
Yet, others mimic me
And try to adopt my ideals
You can do any of these
But don't falsely befriend me
Upon my hardened shoulders
Try to conform, they say
But to what standard, I ask
I see none that appease
My questions and ideals
For I feel too strongly
About too many things
I cannot become anything
Of which I abhor
Some laugh at me
For my standoffish behavior
Still, others mock me
For refusal of losing myself
Yet, others mimic me
And try to adopt my ideals
You can do any of these
But don't falsely befriend me

I have a somewhat similar one.
ME
I'll believe in the wisdom,
believe in my own mind.
Accept the fact,
that I'm one of a kind.
Many obstacles,
opinions flying by.
Questioning me,
and asking "why"?
Trying to shape me,
into what they think I should be.
Not accepting the fact,
that I am just me.
I won't change my colors,
to please unaccepting fools.
I won't change my mind,
or break my own rules.
I am here to make my stand,
accept me for who I am.
Or don't accept me at all,
and continue to not understand.
or break my own rules." lines. Good words to live by. Both of our poems are similar in content. In mine, for some reason, I started out focusing on the mock, mimic, befriend part and it just grew from there.
