Me

Most people say I'm quiet

They say that I'm emo

But what do they know?

 

I'm not an angel

But I'm also not a demon

 

Sometimes I'm silly

Sometimes I'm happy

Sometimes I'm sad

Sometimes I cry

 

Sometimes I don't want to talk

Sometimes I get mad

 

How can people possibly

Think of me as an emo?

 

 

 

 

In class I'm quiet

But it doesn't mean

That I'm shy

 

Sometimes I'm loud

Sometimes I'm crazy

Sometimes I hate the  world

Sometimes I can't speak anymore

 

I can be loud when I'm with my friends

I can be shy in places with big crowds

 

I can be mean

I can be nice

My moods can change quickly

 

I'm confused

Because how even some

Of my friends

Think I'm emo?

 

It's like they don't know me

Because I am not emo or goth

 

I'm just me

And that's all I can ever be

I am me

 

I'm ordinary

Yet so different

I am many different things

Please don't judge me

 

For things may not always be as they seem

I don't like being labled

So please don't judge me

By the way I seem

 

I'm not always as I seem

And what if one day

YOU  were labed as

The "emo" or the "goth"

And YOU  weren't emo or goth

At the time?

 

I bet you wouldn't like it.

A nice poem about personal individuality with no boundries. No one wants to be stereotyped. We are human, not droids, not emo, not cookie cutter look alikes of the person sitting next to us. I like that your work reflects the feelings and swaying emotions of a 13 year old... which is exactly what you are. Nice job reflecting yourself... now... in the moment and the best work is writing what you know. Good. Keep Writing, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

This was a nice poem. I really think that people judge others way to much. I'm quiet in class all the time. This kid said about me "she's even laughing and she doesn't laugh at all." I was like "what are you talking about I laugh all the time." He didn't even really know me, but he probably thinks I'm some emo person...he doesn't know me...this poem really shows that though. Thanks for sharing.

I like the ending most, quite effective in my opinion.

Few people can really see who you are. I wouldn't worry about other people opinions. They must have too much time to think. A very strong poem. In my life I left my life a mystery and secret. You are correct. No-one wants people calling them what they are not. A excellent poem.

My friends call me emo all the time. Especially when I wear lots of dark makeup and have my hair in my eyes, but hey, that's my style. They don't have the right to put labels on us because of stereotypes. Be yourself, and you'll never regret it.
I'm also shy around crowds or in class, but I'm a completely different person around friends.
Great work on this, and thanks for sharing.

I love this it's all about who you are. Not what people say you are, :) believe in yourself. :)

I edited this so it makes more sense to what I'm trying to say in the poem. :)
