"A tragedy's a fairy tale with an alternate ending."


Being me isn't hard,
but it isn't easy either
I know who I am and don't really care what my peers think
for this attitude I am punished
it makes them feel...
insecure
knowing that those hurtful glares
the give me don't
"put me in my place"
Although I know I am
I'm more than just
The Underdog,
I'm me
and not even
the cruelest remark can change that

I wrote this poem from previous things that have happened to me. Don't be afraid to be you, its not worth worrying what others think. You have real friends, and sooner or later, you'll have to find out who they are.
