Breaking the mold(not really a poem)

[lacey]

I'm not like them..
the jocks,Preps,Gothics...
I write poems and short storys for fun..
I may play sports,Shop a bit and Love
the color back for sure...
But I'm either of these stereotpyes...
I'm sick everyone that are like youshould do this and that cause
your just beautiful..
No I am not...
I'm me and I am starting to let the world truly
see me..
what really makes me tick as some say...
I used to wear a mask to cover the truth most the time..
I'm different..
Now I can scream it proudly...
we all are...
We just get called and told how to be...
Than we start to belive these lies told to us..
I was told To stop writting and I did...
I almost went crazy and lost myself..
Than I started back and I refound myself on a
blank sheet of notebook paper..
Teens are molded to be something we aren't really..
in the end we have lost something..
It isn't lost...
its taken by poeple thats not understanding of us...
Thats why you must break the mold and refind our
on ways..
Its ok to advise..
But not change us all togather...

That was a very solid and strong subject Lacey.......sincere.....and thoughtful.

Your grammar needs to improve quite a lot though I think......before the words you put in front of the public are going to be praised by reader after reader.........

But there's a lot of time between the teens and the forties or fifties........your early strength is your depth and sensitivity.........

No ...guess it's not really a poem.....but it's great writing. Yes....it has a few dodgy spellings but it also has great perception and honesty. Well written Lacey...........
a pleasure to read.

Lacey.... I've said so many time you have the gift of communicating powerful and sincere emotion. I hope as well that you do not again listen to those who tell you to stop writing. I certainly hope that you continue to write and mature in your writing.

If right now writing is a means to emotionally work through all your thoughts and wanderings .... that is fine. Write ... and post ..... and also take some time to read our other poets here. We all learn together ............ at any age.........

Misspellings aside... this is strongly written. Reminded me a bit of Amy Studts song "Misfit".
