ME.

May 7, 2024

Wondering down these halls listening to music,

Staring at the ground hopefully someone will listen.


Sitting in silence recognizing 

What's real and fake.

Realizing everyone is fake.

Everyones a critic,

All they do is mimic .


No ones real

None of them can feel.

Putting on a disguise

This will be my demise.


Being someone else is common

This will be a lesson.


I'm at peace when i'm alone

There's no one to condone 

They think it's sad

But they could never understand 

I can't wait to leave 

So I can build

Rebuild who I once was.

The old me.


Be true not only to the people around you 

But YOU as well.

I'm a senior in high school and this poem is about how through out most of my high school career I wasn't myself because I changed so I could be considered normal and that change ruined everything for me I didn't feel like myself at all.
