I am... (Free verse Poem)

March 31, 2015
By Anonymous

I am an outgoing self-conscious teenage girl

I wonder if I'm good enough

I hear my mind telling me things that aren't true

I see people talk badly about others

I want everyone to stop spreading rumors

 

I pretend that I'm confident about myself

I feel like people think I ask for attention

I touch my face while I wipe away my tears

I worry that people will never stop judging

I cry when people tell me what they really think

I am an outgoing self-conscious teenage girl

 

I understand that nobody's perfect

I say things that I don't mean

I dream that I will grow up to not worry about what people think

I try to smile through the hard times

I hope that people don't notice how unhappy I am

I am an outgoing self-conscious teenage girl


The author's comments:

My teacher inspired me to write this because she felt the same way in middle school and I want to do express how I felt.

I hope that people can read this and relate, but know that it all gets better eventually.
