That's Just Me.

I am

the quiet one

becuase my words never come out right

the overlooked

because I hide behind my books

the 'picked last in gym class'

because i can't run as fast or throw as far

the outsider looking in

becuase I never seem to fit in.

I am

the one who gets picked on

for having a brain in todays brainless society

the one who eats lunch alone

to avoid the glares and snide remarks

the one known as the 'teacher's pet' 

becuase I was brought up to respect my superiors.

the kid everyone puts down and picks on

because I work hard for my education.

I am

the one who will succeed regardless

because I'm strong enough to ignore them

the one who will make something better of myself

even though they swear I'm going no where

the one who will overcome what they say

because what do they even matter anyways?

I am not 

perfect

or fearless

or perfectly coordinated

But there's no other person I'd want to be

I am me.
