#bedifferent poems on Hello Poetry

So What?

So what if I'm different
Maybe I like girls and boys
Yeah, I'm Bi, is that a crime?

So what if I'm strange
"Kid shows" bring me joy
In the end, it's just pixels on a screen

So what if I'm annoying
I'm just being myself
It's better than being someone you're not

So what if I'm awkward
People just don't understand me
I don't understand them either, so your point is?

So what if I'm ugly
It doesn't matter
My looks don't define me, neither should yours

So what if I'm still a child
I have feelings too you know
I can understand some things adults will never know

These are the questions I will always ask
Because the diversity of the human race is great!
It doesn't matter who you are under the mask
Human is whatever, black or straight
If anyone has a problem with it,
Are you gonna run crying, back to your cot?
Or will you give them a smile and say;
"So what?"

This is sort of like a rant poem...? I don't know, this just came out of me XD

"PoETEPETE to me"

2-Pete's in 1, a.k.a"Gemini",
now throw an "O", before the "E",
Now tell me, what do you see?

Regardless of the situation sometimes we just have to add a letter or two to somethings in life to show our true expression. And that expression is going to elevate our worlds, and send a ringing bell to our destination. Can you hear it? Wait wait listen.........

Amazing A Nov 2014

different

It falls out of me
and i can't help it
the insecurities of it all
life can fill you with poison
it can drug you and make you think
that it's you
that you are the one that's wrong
in reality if you are different,
if you are lucky enough to be different
strike out on your own
you are better than them
for you stayed true
you didn't let the magazines
or the clicks
or the television
win

Swimming against the current

Today I jumped off a cliff
And as I fell I could only think of what was to come
Falling, I dove until I pierced the cold dark waters
The bitter salt stinging my eyes as I try to rise above
Only to realize the harsh waves pushing me down

The struggle to keep my head above
The struggle to breath

Below me,
I feel the hundred of bites from sharks
Their sharp teeth in my skin
dragging me down

And the thousands of jellyfish stings
weakening me
forcing me down
forcing me to blend in and become one of them

But I can't
I must prevail
I must take on the pain
I must move on

And as I pull free and swim further away I hear them call
You're weird! You're ugly!You're an outcast!
And though the words constantly replay in my mind
I must use them as strength to move on

I must succeed
I must push through the waves
I must ignore the pain.the stings, the bites.
I must swim against the current.
I must fight it.

Although they still try to drag me down
Try to make me like them
I can never be...
I can only be me...

For my island, my home, my sanctuary.
is not far away...
I must be free...

The struggle to fit in and also be yourself.
Deciding to move on and be different.
