I'm a 18 year-old girl with curly hair,
glittering and funny,
who feels lonely sometimes.
I do not ask to be understood because I
can't even understand myslef.
I ask to be accepted,
I ask to be accepted as I am.
I do not want to be told what potential
I have, or what my future holds.
I do not want to be told that I'm going
no where in life because I skipped school.
I question my existence, my meaning.
I question what the "real world" is, and
why I'm not there.
I feel happy with new shoes on.
I feel lonesome in a small room.
Sometimes my heart bleeds and I cry,
Laughter echoes is my mind.
I am told to be different,
to be myself.
But then I am told what to wear and
how to ach.
I like to draw and rumors hurt.
I know how to dance, but sometimes I sit anyway.
Please don't try to understand me, nor
judge me too quickly.
My name doesn't matter,
my heart is open.

it was an ok poem wasnt to impressed but it made a point
and by the way did you get this line

I know how to dance, but sometimes I sit anyway.

from a lean womack song i hope you dance i think thats how you spell it

but other than that ok write

A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body - the wishbone
