I am not


The feeling within 

Ignored by all

I AM SCREAMING

But nobody listens

I am dying

But nobody helps me...

Inside I know I have potential

I know the underlying truth

i am more

Than an SAT score

I Am More

Than a GPA

I AM MORE

Than some number on

some screen

In some god-forsaken computer

I want to be more

I want to BE MORE

I need to be someone

I have to change the world

I want to be a better human

But how can I

If I

don't have the tools

And I

can't change my face

Becasue I am not perfect

I am not

PERFECT

But hell

I can be

AMAZING

Just...

listen
