You ask me to stay young, but think maturely,
You want me to behave like an adult but treat me like a child,
You expect me to be emotional, but shut me down when I am.

You take my words as stupid and irrational,
when all my teachers listen.
Why would you even send me to school,
if you won't listen to my educated beliefs?

My friends say I'm smart and pretty and kind, responsible and fun
My family treats me like I'm rebellious and stupid.
And my sister calls me fat and mean and boring.
...
It's so hard to like what I am when everyone I love,
tells me different information.

Not trying to argue
Or fight with stubborn
Set in their ways
Causing frustration in the way
Avoid them and pray
No time for rude and crude
Not alike working to better my situation
Not looking for a hand out
Willing to lend a helping hand
Writing helps with sanity
Venting hoping to relate
