Temporary

A poem that I want to enter in my school newspaper.

Say what you want

I won’t back down

I will not cry

I will not frown

 

I tire of worrying

Of what people think

My mind’s made up

I shall not blink

 

Before the day's through

Something will change

Someone will come to me

And say "You're strange"

 

And I'll just laugh

I won't care

My anger will fade

I'll develop a flair

 

My new friends

Are better than you ever were

They care for me

Its them I prefer

 

So smile all you want

Live your plastic life

Full of fake

Mine's full of strife

 

At least its real

At least I have fun

I'll forget about you

Before the day is done

Author's Note

Does anyone know of any competitions I could enter any of my poems in to possibly get published?

Say what you say,I wont back down,I will never cry ,never frown
Tired of worrying,my mind made up,Shall never blink
Before the day is through,I know some will come,Something will change
And I will just laugh,Never care,Anger fades ,and I develop a flare
Friends are there ,they take good care of me ,its what I prefer
Smile what you like ,plastic life,full of fake,Mine is strife
So real and I have all the fun..Before the day is done
