Just Being Me
were misunderstood
stereotyped
and made into shapes
that we don't want to be
we want to be us
not the kid in that show
not the kid in the street who does drugs
not the shy kid who never speaks up
we want to be the kids who will be themselves
who can stand up and say no
say that they can be different
we are those kids
so don't stereotype us
saying what we aren't
cause were different
and you cant change that
this poem is about
Adolescence
