I Am Me

I am the kid who gets bullied at school that no one cares about.
I am the bully who has a poor background and destructive family life.
I am the goth kid who wears all black and listens to heavy metal.
I am the weird kid who is into Yu Gi O and eats lunch by himself.
I am the kid who dresses out of line and is frowned apon by society.
I am the kids who society recognizes as a different breed with poor ethics and queer priorities.
Just because they're not the top kid now doesn't mean that they will not grow up to become important leaders.

I am the bullied kid who grew up to be a member of the police force because he wanted to defend the defensless.
I am the bully who became a mentor for kids who live in a troubled families because he wants to help them get out of what he once was in.
I am the goth kid who grew up to become heavy metal musician because he wanted to be apart of something he loved.
I am the weird kid who lived on to become the creator of the next big cartoon show because he wants to bring a friend to the friendless like he was as a child.
I am the kid who dresses out of line and became the next top designer because she loves to express herself through her designs.
I am the part of society that most people don't see as important but are actually a crucial part of our country's well-being.
I am a defender, a guide, a musician, a friendly creator, and an artist.
Maybe I am not the future President of the United States or a member of Congress, but I am the future of our nation.
I am the conquerer of society's image for the norm.
I am what our future kids will be looking up to.
I am unique.
I am powerful.
I am strong-willed.
I am me.
