I...Don't...Care!

You say social life changes after school

Well I say you're the fool

Because there are still cliques and circles

Still have to jump through hoops an over hurdles

You have to fit in 

To get in

Well screw you

I...DON'T...CARE!!!

The world is never fair

I don't care what you think 

Just as long as it's about me!

I can have fun on my own

Doesn't matter if I'm alone

I'll keep going till there is nothing left

You can't say my name an theirs in the same breath

Have fun trying to fit a square peg in a round hole

I welcome the pressure because diamonds come from coal

I...DON'T...CARE!!!

The world is never fair

And I don't care what you think

Just as long as it's about me!

The difference between you an people like me

Is we find happiness in misery

The fun times can be the most discreet

And not relying on you doesn't make us weak

So I will continue to sing

Since of "not caring" I am the king

I...DON'T...CARE!!!

When I'm alone I'll enjoy the fresh air

I don't care what you think 

Just as long as it's about me!

Just a couple spelling mistakes that can be fixing by just reading it over carefully. But other than that I love this. So much truth to it. The segregation among us will never end.

The juxtaposition of the "I don't care" and "Just as long as it's about me." seems to indicate that in spite of the declaration of not caring what people think, the writer really does care.
Well done.

Haha yeah, I was trying to show that the person doesn't really care what you think about him, but he does like to know that you're thinking about him (no matter if it's good or bad). Kind of like no matter if it's for good or bad, he doesn't want to be forgotten.

This poem makes one heck of a statement. The line, "Have fun trying to fit a square peg in a round hole" is fantastic. You once again written a very powerful and original poem! :)

A powerful declaration.

While life outside school does still have cliques and groups, things do change. There is more acceptance of originality and individuality. Sometimes, it even seems that conformity becomes less about uniformity and more about being different. I know that's a strange idea - conformity through originality. But, it does broaden our opportunities and social reach.

Haha. Nice job!! Love the "I don't care!!" It gives it more emotion:)
