I Am Me

I am the girl that no one gets

The four-eyed freckled geek

I am the one with much to say

Though I’m too scared to speak

I am the girl who sits alone

The one the boys all overlook

I am the girl who spills her soul

Across the pages of a spiral book

I am the girl that no one wants

The one always picked last

I am the girl that’s left behind

The one who can’t escape her past

I am a little girl no more

I am a woman, forty-three

But the silent nerdy outcast child

Will always dwell inside of me

 

 

(The prompt was to start at least six lines of a poem with “I am…” for this challenge.)
