I can't tell you
Who I am
In 250 words
Or less

My test scores
Say nothing
About the way my smile
Lights up my face
When I talk about
Something I love

My GPA tells you
Nothing
About the way
I react
To stressful situations

I can't describe
My life
With words on a page
Because letters
Don't show you
The tilt of my head
Or the expressions
On my face

I am not a statistic
Or a number
I am a girl
With reasons to love
And dreams to fulfill

Do not put me
In a box
I will color
Outside the lines
And draw circles
Inside of squares

I am not a number
Do not count me
With the rest
But never
Count me out
