Who Am I?
I am Emily.
people say
be the only me
I am only going to
be one in seven billion
I will never
stand out in this world
Twenty years from now I'll tell my kids
school is more important than your mental health
Educators tell me your
unique and creative
but I am
needing to find myself
It's clear that I am
losing myself in a daydream
I am apart of the lazy generation
And I refuse to say that
I will take a bullet for my parents
I am selfish for
it may seem that
I don't care about anyone
And I hate people who say
love everyone
I was put on this earth to
follow
For all others
lead
While I
sitting in class complaining about school
others are
making a difference while
I am
unsocial
I am
and I will never say that
I have people who care for me
Jesus doesn't love me
I say
Never will
even if I am dead
be my best self
For only I can
because
I am Emily.
