all around me i see
my peers,
those who represent me
whether i want them to
or not.
everyone sees us as a whole
not bothering to see us for
who we are.
i am an athlete
i am a joker
i am an extrovert
i am a scared
little girl trapped
inside an unbreakable shell,
or so it seems.
no one's ever asked me
who i am.
so how do they know?

Don't you hate being stereotyped and put into a category just by grouping? Very good poem.  Nicely done.

I like it. I know exactly what you mean. Dont let those jerks bother you, inside THEIR shells you'll probably find a person completely different perhaps the opposite of what they seem to be. sometimes thiers a better person inside, sometimes thiers just a rude snotty teenager seeking only attention. Thats why we got these darn shells, to hide our ugliness or what we percieve to be ugly when sometimes there is someone out there who would accept you for who you are.

i like what you said about no one will ever know you if they dont ask lots of times people make quick decisions that are usually wrong  and a second point eventually someone comes along and does break our shell and exposes our screts and it can b a great relief sometimes  keep up the good work
