Just because I am a senior
Doesn’t mean I’m cool
Doesn’t mean I rule the school
And doesn’t mean I am perfect

Just because I am a Juggalette
Doesn’t mean I fight
Doesn’t mean I am a whore
Doesn’t mean you can judge me

Just because I am depressed
Doesn’t mean I am suicidal
Doesn’t mean I hate my life
And doesn’t mean I am emo

Just because I am a girl
Who says I can’t play football?
Who says I can’t be in the Army?
Who says I can’t be a drummer/singer?
I can do all things
When I set my mind to it

I wrote this because people love to judge me and I think it is not fair. I am one of a kind. I am totally new. I don't have to be what other people want me to be. I am me and I am damn proud of it.

Sometimes I wanna slap people when they judge other people before they know what that person has gone through.... My mom is divorced and she hasnt gotten married or even gone on a date at all yet.... But the church we go to thinks that she sleeps around with everyone just because she is divorced... We are avoided like the plague and I just wanna tell these people they aren't practicing what they preach... I don't even know why we go there... We are trying to find a different church... Lol sorry for writing all this but this poem brought back so many memories sooo lol sorry....
