Real Me

Who am I

Some say a girl

Some say a bright girl

Some say a bubbly girl

Some say a girly girl

Well thats not true

 

I am a girl yes

But I am not bright

I am not bubbly

 

That is who I am

Working to be

The bright and bubbly girl


The real me

Is hurt

Scarred for life

By her own friends

Her mom and step-dad


The real me

Relied on her dad

The same one

Who lives 60 min

Away

 

But that is past

 

The real me

Right now

Is a girl

Who is done

Being scared

A girl who does

Not care

 

What you think

What you believe  

She is training

Herself to be kind

 

She tries to

Not judge

Who you

Are

By

What you look

Like

How you act

 

I was poor and

Now I am spoiled


The real me

Wants to volunteer

While some kids think

“ God no mom is making me volunteer”

I say

Yes I get to volunteer again  

 

The real me is

A tom-boy

Who does not

Care if she is not polite enough

And does not care if she is not englent enough

Or if she is not pretty enough

 

That is who I am

I want to help

 

I will

Fight for the weak and strong

Fight for the homeless

Fight for the poor

Fight for the blind

For the speechless

The children who are bullied every day

The children who have been bullied

The bullies who were under peer pressure  

The children who have been raped

The teens who have been raped

The adults who have been raped

The children who have a mom that is 13 years old

The parents that have children when they are 11

The teens who want to commit suicide

The teens who commit suicide

The children who want to commit suicide

The children who commit suicide

The kids and teens that are taken by them

The children who do drugs

The teens who do drugs

The adults who do drugs

The mentally hurt

And challenged

 

That is me not you

So don’t pretend to be me

 

I have O.D.D

So I snap

But I want you to know

I don’t mean it

I say it but

I don’t think it

So I am sorry

 

If you want to hurt me

I will warn you

Try it is impossible now

 

To hurt me anymore

I may cry

I may look hurt

But on the inside I know

I have to stay strong

For them not for me

I rather fight for them

Than for me

 

So try

But know

You will

Try and fail

Again and again

 

That is the real me

No matter what

I have found myself

And that is the real me

 

So try

You cant

Be me

Hurt me

So try me

 

I am the wolf

The brave

Being

 

The leader

The one

Who protects

The pack


I am not scared

The ones who try

To get in my way

Are the ones

Who should

Be scared


That is who I am

And I will growl

For them

For my pack

And you can’t change me
