Why are people not respected
For being different and being who they are
Who am I you ask yourselves
I am the purple flower in the patch of red tulips
I am the proud brunette with brown eyes
Among the blond and blue eyed
I am the person you laugh at in the hall
But the only difference I see is
I respect myself you do not
What makes you think you are better then me
What gives you the right to critisize who I am
I choose to be different
I don't want to be the same
Because I can't be cramped and crunched and a clone
I need to be my own person I hope you understand
Even though I am my own person
I want to be respected I need to be me

(this be one of the first poems that i shared with anyone and i thought i would now share it with u guyz i will remind u this poem is about 3 years old tell me what ya think

)

as u go in life there will be ur hardships it is up to u if it makes u or breaks u.

I'll second Carly on that one.

The only thing I can say is what Godsend did. You should never feel like you have to change who you are for someone else. And if you feel that way, then these people aren't your friends and aren't healthy influences.
*hugs* You seem like a very cool person.. stay that way

Very nice poem you have here.. I liked it a lot!

I enjoyed this VERY much.....well lemme let you in on a little secret...I dig brunettes with brown eyes.....that whole blonde hair,blue eye stuff doesn't cut it....hehe
Well anyway....I really liked the poem....always stay true to yourself.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
