Somehow I thought it'd never get to this
People whispering freak in the halls
Telling almost everything they know about me to my mentors
They know nothing
I'm not a freak and,
they're just not creative
Whisper whatever you must in the halls
They whisper lesbian ever so soft
I don't think it's wrong to kiss someone you love
Nor is self expression a sin
I'll write what I wish even if you laugh at it
Mock me. Really I don't mind.
I express myself in ways you just can't.
In ways that you don't have the fucking guts to do
I don't dress to impress
I don't dress to express
I dress to be dressed
Don't look at what I wear and call me a freak
Don't look at me and call me a freak
You don't fucking know me
You may call me any name you like due to this write
I am just everything you're not
I guess that really does make me a freak

hey..you did a good job on this...that pisses me off..how people have enough guts to call other people a freak but they don't have enough guts to show who they really are....we all know that everyone has 'another' side...you aren't the preppy cheerleader all the time, or the badass..we know you secretly cry in your room when you're upset or you've had enough...
i like how you said that you don't dress to impress or express yourself..you dressed so you aren't walking around naked...isn't that how it should be?
you di another phenominal job..keep up the good work!

awesome!
I like this poem....It's just sad how society is....Personally, I'm a guy, and I'm growing my hair out....everyone calls me a fag, a girl, and retarded all the time
but whats wrong with being different at all? I'm sorry if I dont want to look exactly like 90% of everyone else in the world. I'm sorry if I want to stand out
so yah that reminded me of that lol

Awesome!!!!
Awwww... This is very well written. I can really relate to this poem. I get called a “freak” a lot too. I've gotten used to it. Being called a “freak” doesn't offend me anymore. I kinda am a freak. lol
The other rude and thoughtless names they call me piss me off. Anyway, excellent poem. It shows tons of emotion. It pisses me off how people at school (usually the popular kids that think they're so damn “cool”) laugh, call disrespectful names, and make fun of people like us who are not cool. I’d rather be the “loser” I am than some fake preppy whore. Wonderful poem. I enjoyed reading it very much. I can relate to this so well. Great write.
