Finding Me (Free verse) by beaner14

I used to be able to say that I was the best To say that I once lived without regrets But now its like everything has changed My life seems like its been rearranged I’m not someone who I like to be I second guess every possibility I have no drive, or determination Its like being popular is my only dedication I don’t give the effort, or put in the time It seems my priorities are way out of line I like to have fun, weekends are my nights out But life’s not a party, its not what its all about My head is blurry, my dreams aren’t clear I’m afraid of the future, life is what I fear At only 15, I’m filled with worry I want to grow up fast, but there’s no hurry I want to relax and like who I am Rather than stress about boys, and my next exam I want to go back to who I was But I know that I cant, just because I made my mistakes, ones that I cant undo I’ve become poisoned with thoughts that aren’t true And I sit and I cry saying life’s unfair Yet I’m to worried about what they think, or what to wear So I guess what I mean, is that I miss myself Its like I took the old me, and hung it up on a shelf And I’m tired of being who everyone wants me to be And I cant wait for the day when I’m back to being me But for now I’m here, and I’m about to change I’m going to look fear in the eye, and stop playing games I’m conquering my goals one by one But in the back of my head, I know that I’m still young So please respect me, and give me my rights And help me when I need you if my situations tight Try to make me laugh, and hug me when I’m sad Remind me to think about what I have, and not what I had Tell me to live and act like a kid Try to change what I do, not undo what I did Cause I’m here for a reason, not just to look good And I’m not to be judged, I may be misunderstood So look at me real hard, under my skin Beyond my smiling face and my innocent sin Then maybe you’ll see how much help I need That I’m not so perfect, and I’m not your average teen I’m a girl with a smile, a laugh, and a frown Don’t look away, don’t turn me down Cleanse my soul, show me contemplation Give me a life, build my education Show me you care, about who I want to be And tell me that all I have to do is be me.
