Hi everybody! I hope you’re doing good. School hasn’t been that much fun lately. Sometimes kids can be mean and one day they made me feel so bad I started crying. I don’t know why it has to be that way but my dad says it’s just a part of growing up and that it happens to everybody. Sometimes I just feel like I’m an outsider though and that nobody understands me. I wrote a poem about it. I called it “I Am Me”. I hope you like it.

I Am Me

As I nestle into my nest
Deeper and deeper to get some rest
The porch door creaks from the wind that howls
There’s no escape from the face that scowls

The kids on the playground
They all know my name
They know who I am
But I’m just not the same

I hear them whisper
About the things that they see
They laugh and they giggle
And it’s probably about me

But I try not to care
If they don’t like what I wear
And I try not to care
If they don’t like what they see
Because deep down inside
I know that I’m me

But sometimes I still
Sit around crying
And sometimes my insides
Feel like they’re dying

So I sit by myself
And wonder what’s wrong
And inside my head
Starts playing a song

So I sing to myself
I don’t care what they see
I’m just happy to be here
That’s good enough for me!

Bye!
