Face Value

I am loud, and silly, and sometimes annoying, but that is all you see.
You take me at face value.
Not careing enough to really know me.
To know that I am not this ditzy air-head.
You can not judge me with out knowing the real me.
I have feelings, I have brains, I have REAL thoughts.
You judge the girl you think you see.
You think you see the girl that doesn't care about school.
And just wants friends.
A girl who doesn't think of others, just herself.
But I can't tell you how many times I have put others happyness before my own.
More time than I can count I have done something for someone.
Not because I was doing it for me, but becasue I thought it would make them happy.
I am a girl with a brain, thoughts, and a soul.
Yes I can be loud... But thats part of who I am.
But there is more.
Under the loudness... There is a girl with good intentions.
A girl who cares to much about others.
You are the one who should be ashamed.
You think Im stupid.
You don't know the real me.
You think you do.
You have no clue.
You just take me at face value.

Hi Nicole how are you?

careing is (caring) an I think happyness is (happiness)
Just trying to help if your entering this you could edit it,
I have no room to talk because sometimes I use ebonics and purposefully
write things how I thank day shud soun ya heard may and feel to my soul,or other times we write for dialect,

This is a beautiful poem,pouring forward the emotions of a young adult female in our educational system directed toward her peers in her own home community an it is wonderfully refreshingly direct,
I hope your teachers and classmates enjoy your pleasure,some say work yet as writers we know it is our pleasure,

well done nicole

peace
