its been a long tiem since i have posted anything here...i have a little bit of writers block.


This is me
That is you.
I am not a lonely little girl in the corner
I am not a stuck up brat always around people.
I care about the quality of my friendships
Not how many i can get.
I wont drink or do drugs until I want
You do it to be 'cool'.
I wear clothes the symbolize me
I dont have two closets full
You wear what everyone else does
Sometimes two sizes too small
You must have three closets.
Most of you are teachers pets
I talk to them when i have to.
You are on multiple sports teams
You complain of it all the time
I am in one sports club
Which i wish to play everyday.
That is you and I
See the differnce?
I do and i never want to be you.

Love is like quicksand, the deeper you fall the harder it is to get out

In terms of the message, I like it.  Never conform to what everyone else does.

However, in terms of the writing, its just kind of boring.  Your explaining everything here, and it almost sounds more like it should be in paragraph form the way it is.  
I recomend just reading some more poems here, and seeing how people describe different things.  In poetry, its often more powerful not to simply say what you want... Describe it eloquently.
