I'm told i'm not good enough
i'm told i'm like the rest
i'm always getting judged on who i am
i'm always getting put to the test
someone calls me a slut
another person whispers hoe
if only they really knew me
but guess what..they don't know
they label me a certain way
just because of my friends
they tear me down word by word
just to see if my heart will mend
they think i'm this terrible person
who does just to please
when i'm really all by myself
begging on my knees
i don't want to be known as a whore
i want to be known for me
i want to be me without falter
basically i just want to be
whether me is good enough
or if it's spat at with disgust
i'll always be me for me
and that's something i can trust
because in the end i'll be the one
the one to say she never changed
not for anyone and their teasing words
which in my head i just rearrange
from now on, i'll hear what i want
and do what i can
i'll be the best that i should be
right here, right now, i'll take a stand
i've learned to be your own person
and love the ones who love what you are
and with this knowledge
i know i'll go far...

i love it sissy, you have done a wonderful job speaking up and telling us how you feel, i relate to this so close, i was called those names in school too and only the people who were looking in from the outside without knowing the whole story, i've learned to pass those up and belive in myself becuse i know that nobody else will love me if i dont love myself first, i love the flow you have used in this poem its awsome just like the detials about how you want your friends to care about you for just being you, and you know that I always will, keep up the great writing ~love your sissy Amy
