Gracelyn Mims Poet Rhyme

I'M Not Like the Others

I won't conform to society
It's a new year- I'm free to be me...

I won't let them mold me or shape me, 
Not today's society...

I don't smoke, drink, or shoot myself up,
I'm just me, a kid, a child, a pup!

I'd rather die- old and grey,
But no matter what becomes of me,

I'll be here, every day,
While you smoke your life away.

Cursing at your little child, 
Who will grow up just like you,
I hope you mean it only mild,
You don't know the potential that in the trash you threw...
