Not Who Others Think

I am Me.

 

A teammate,

A musican,

A bookworm,

A friend,

A hopeless romantic.

 

These things define parts of Me,

but its not fully me.

The world sees in black and white but i see in all different shades.

 

You can't judge a person based on what you see.

I know it, have experienced it, and have done it to others.

 

The obnoxious girl in class doesn't get any attention at home.

The mean guy has a bad self image.

That nerd that gets shoved in the halls; he studies, locked in his room by his step-father.

And the girl with bad grades, she's dyslexic and struggles reading what we think is easy.

 

What people say of Me can hurt.

I've been called names because of what I stand for.

My purity ring is cause enough for people to poke fun.

I wear glasses and love reading.

 

What I've learned though is that if a friend judges Me based on what others think,

They're no friend of mine.

I have real friends that love the real Me unconditionally.
