I

I care more about grades than having fun.

My best friends are books and music.

I sing, but not in front of people.

I hold in my emotions.

I let them poor out in my writing.

I suck at writing.

But I want to be an author.

I love acting.

I won't get to Hollywood.

I'm not what people consider pretty.

Or smart.

Or talented in the least.

I'm the one daughter.

4 brothers.

3 didn't make it.

I'm the daughter of a nurse and a military man.

I'm smarter and stronger than anyone thinks.

I act tougher than I am/

I move a lot.

I don't make friends.

I trust too easily.

I give up too easily.

I want to be what I'm not.

I stand out.

I stand up to cancer.

I had cancer.

I might have cancer now.

I'm easily broken.

I feel like I'll never be good enough.

I know I'll never be good enough.

I'm just me.

a very nice poem...Thank you for penning...:)

Better to be you than being anybody else, I would think. Kudos on a great work of ink. It speaks much and leaves us with a whisper of what the poet is about. Thanks for sharing.
