Who I am ...

Who I am ...

Just another day

with not much to say 

All these thoughts, never the right words 

And I think back to the day when I wasn't even good enough for the nerds

They said I was to violent

and in class I was the loser that was always silent

The teachers seemed to like me partly 

I was the type that was smart enough for Barkley

 

I wasn't shy or even socially awkward

I just thought my class mates were absurd

I didn't belong there in their line

I was born in the wrong time 

 

But the adults said I'm to serious

I honestly thought they were delerious 

Then they said I'm 'wise beyond my years'

Then miss G said with eyes full of tears

 

You should never change for anyone

And with that said I decided that I'm done

 

Never will people decided who I am ...

I think you are wise beyond your years. You seem true to yourself, no matter what the crowd might say, and that is very important. Two things:

But the adults said I'm to serious (to should be too)

Never will people decided who I am ... (decided should be decide)

Lovely work my friend!

I don't "fit in" never have, and like you said--it is ok... who wants to be just like everyone else.. that is boring... you shine here with your beautiful spirit.. I will say this one some of the rhymes feel awkward and forced, would reword a few places to make it flow better and seem less trite... overall though, lovely message... you make the reader FEEL and that is talent... ((hugs)) my friend..

I should take offense about that comment "Not even good for the nerds" but I won't. Micky fitting is overrated mate. Your writings keep descrbing anguish and the acceptance or lackofthereof. The descriptions are effective and I certainly feel the anguish. Eve when the final lines come to redeem the situation and let you know that your individuality is priceless. Even in a group full of people you will still feel lonely. Your search seems destined to want to find something. Something that defines you.

I hope you get closer and closer.

Thankyou
