Why are you acting this way?
Why are you so blind?
Why can't you see that he's not the one?
That you've been blinded by his lies?

Why are you so different?
Will it ever be the same?
When will your eyes open?

You said that you never seen it;
But you see now...
you see my hurt,my pain.my cry
why won't you set me free,
of this tragedy?!

I feel like I don't know you
Like we've never met
Although years ago your all i talked about...

I'm here, I'm me
you can't erase what happened
pretend that it never did
cause you'd be living a L-I-E!

I don't think you can change it without getting it approved again... I think you have to rewrite it, submit it, and then ask them to delete this one (via email).

I like this! I'm going to go through and complain about the grammar though - 

"you never seen it" should be "you've never seen it" or "you never saw it"

"your all i talked" should be "you're all I talked"

 

"cause you'd be living a L-I-E" you'd want to put "an" in front of the L, and "cause" as a short form of because is not a word, so it needs a little single quotation mark/apostrophe thing before it like 'cause. Also I misread this as "'cause you're a living L-I-E!" which also sounded good, lol. keep up the good work! :)

I agree wtih CallMeFelix, if you made it flow slightly smoother, this could be an amazing piece of work. But this is good too. :)

I like the idea of this poem.  It has a lot of feeling, and it has a nice flow.  There are so grammatical errors ("You've said you never seen it") and I'd simplify some of the punctuation, but overall nice job!
