don't judge me
JUST BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT
DOESN'T MEAN I'M UNMANAGEABLE,
DOESN'T MEAN I WANT ATTENTION,
IT JUST MEANS I'M DIFFERENT FROM THE NEXT PERSON!
JUST BECAUSE I HAVE GOOD GRADES,
DOESN'T MEAN I'M A NERD ,
DOESN'T MEAN I CANT GO OUT AND HAVE A REAL
GOOD TIME WITH MY FRIENDS,
IT JUST MEANS I CARE ABOUT SCHOOL.
JUST BECAUSE I HANG OUT WITH A SMALL GROUP
OF FRIENDS,
DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS
DOESN'T MEAN I'M UNSOCIAL,
IT JUST MEANS I PREFER A SMALL GROUP WITH NO DRAMA!
JUST BECAUSE I HANG OUT WITH A OLDER GROUP,
DOESN'T MEAN I'M FAST,
DOESN'T MEAN I'M A HO,
IT DOESN'T MEAN I WANT THE ATTENTION,
IT JUST MEANS I'M A MORE MATURE THEN MY AGE GROUP!
JUST BECAUSE I'M QUIET WHEN I FIRST MEET YOU,
DOESN'T MEAN I'M WEIRD,
IT DOESN'T MEAN I'M ALWAYS LIKE THIS, IT JUST MEANS
THAT YOU HAVEN'T TOOK THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW THE
REAL ME!

Hi!
I love how fierce your voice is here--props on that! Keep that strength as you keep writing; so many poets lose their tenacity along the way because they're told it's not what's "good" in poetry.
I would love to see some images make this work even stronger. I want to be able to see, feel, and touch the things this speaker finds important. I can hear her, but I want to get a better sense of who she is!
Thanks for sharing your work, and happy writing :).
