How I feel, What

They Don't Realize is...

I'm Lonely

Confused, Different

I didn't ask to...

Be

    Like this

Awkward and                       

      It's crazy

Why can't I just have fun

be like the others?

I know I am

DIFFERENT

I know I am peculiar

I did NOT ASK TO-

BE!!!!

Shy, reserved, invisible, unsure, helpless, new

Why me?

I want to break out!!!!

Be

Free, outgoing, tough, outspoken, streetsmart

Loved by someone

other than a family member

I want to be seen, aknowledged, admired, respected,

appreciated, understood, liked

hugged

held close 

noticed,

noticed,

kissed...

May I please have this before I die?
