My Soul
Bittersweet
How people are
Judging me before they speak to me
Never giving me a chance to say something
My soul inside is not like my appearance
Stereotypes are hit to me
Making the judging of how I would be
Seeing my clothes, hair, and posture
Turn away without hearing my story
Believe that I am bad news
I leave with a bitter mouth
Hoping they realize what they did
Haven't they heard the statement
'Don't judge a book by its cover'
But oh my
I seemed to just have followed their steps
Something wrong with this poem?

Hey everyone. Poet and author here. To begin with, my name AM is meant to signify the many mornings I spent on writing my books. In addition, AM is also a name that a friend and I made up for fun when talking about my fictional character crushes (many have been there, am I right?). AM also protects my identity mainly because I can post work without anyone knowing who it is about or why did I write it. In addition, I also post poems on my Instagram account @poemsby_am. I hope you enjoy my poems. Thanks for reading.
