Who is she?

Who is she?

A Poem by Shimae Parks

Who is she?
What is she?
Does she know she is not like me?
I think she feels like a beauty queen but what sachet could fit around her?
Oh dear, Oh my, has the time fly, she is now one of a kind
Can they see beyond the flaws or will they still criticize her 
She isn't pretty, she maybe dumb.. hmm what did she do to her hair they all say
Through all of the hate and all of the pain I feel trapped and I cannot escape the pain that is driving me insane..
No matter what I say, They keep their faces turned and their phones on high just in case i say hi 
What makes me different?
What makes me unique ?
Is it my hair?
Is it my smile?
Is it my clothes that my mom brought me last week?
It's new!
Look at me!
Look at me!
I'm pretty 
I'm cute 
I'm Just like you
Why do I even try?
It doesn't matter what I try
I give you things that I don't have just to come home and hear it from my dad
Who makes you God anyway?
I'm something, I'm beautiful, I'm me and that is what Ill be!
no more holding these tears in hopes that you hear my fears
no more pulling my hair in hopes that you would say hi 
Dear God, you made me, me and hmm.. that is what I am going to be 
not fake, not sad, not mad , but glade and one day when they see me they will say...
What?
And I'll say yeah thats right it is me that you see.

good poem, I was wondering what direction this poem would take, but reading the ending, it is clear what your reasoning was behind this poem to start writing it. Inspiring poems are one of a kind poems, that's what I like to say. Because we all have our own ways of being inspiring in poems, and your poem is definitely a one-of-a-kind. Love this one, few minor spelling issues, makes grammatical sense to everybody though, so all's good. If I were you though, I'd still change the spelling. "Glade" is 'glad' in the context of "not fake, no sad, not mad, but GLAD and one day..."
And may be in the context of "she isn't pretty, she MAY BE dumb..." and by the way, some lines are contradicting the point you are trying to make in this poem. Maybe change them, less harsh lines?
Either way, loved this poem.
