Try To Be Me

Try To Be Me

A Poem by Annabelle Lee

Don't hate me because I'm smart
Or because that guy likes me
Don't be angry at the things I can't help
It's not like I chose to be like this
It would be nice to be able to walk down the hall
And Not have boys comment on my body
Or sit in the lunch room
And not have everyone think I am a traitor
I'm sorry I didn't sit with you
Please don't be mad
It would be nice to have friends
Who love me for me
And as soon as I think I've found my place
More people get upset with me
It sucks to be popular
I don't want to be watched
I try not to be wanted
I just want to fit in
Standing out was fun for a while
But If I knew It would lead to this
I never would have done it
I have more friends than ever
But I don't know who's true
Yeah, guys like me
But that's not all it is
They don't like me for me
They like me for my social status
They like me for my looks
And I find the one guy
I feel like myself around
And they judge me for it
I'm constantly being criticized
Always being watched
They keep on comparing me
And I want it to stop
Popularity's not what they make it out to be
And I really just want to 
Try to be me

I've been on both sides, and each sucks just as much as the other one, so think about it

Fitting in, especially in high school, is like Pandora's box to me. Just keep far away from it. You just go in there every day being your complete and whole self, and those who love you for you will come like bees to honey. I'm not particularly an expert on the popularity department, but believe me, there are a whole lot of phonies out there, and they're nothing but trouble. Anyway, your piece is great--relatable, especially as a teenage girl. Thanks for sharing.


Carry on!

fitting in is always a challenge...popularity brings a lot of mischief and gossips about you that sometimes a little over the top... seems like you have a rival in that category... so you better do what ever it takes to make you a better person... dont let judgement let you down... i know its hard...believed me i know... i handle judgement every other day of my life... help when ever you can..look for a friend that is worth to be with...see a person behind those ugly/pretty facade then you'll see who's real or not...

"Don't be angry at the things I can't help"
~ yes you can.. dont be a stupid full of yourself person... sorry about that... but if your pretty then spread beauty to everyone(in your inside and out)...everyone is beautiful... dont outshine each other on the popular list..be just right.. be the person just enough for everyone to see the real you.. sorry again if i say something bad..

if someone think your a traitor then prove them wrong... or if you have done something that makes you one..then make another move to prove them that you have change..be the good person i think you are...

be well my friend.. hope i help in some way...
