Here's the poem I wrote for the "Annual Poetry Reading" in my English class. My teacher handed out poetry contest papers, so I'm going to enter this one:
~
"But, Thats Okay. . ."
I am quiet a times,
seeming distant and reserved.
But, thats okay. . .
Maybe its because what I want to say,
I cant put into words.
I am a "Jesus Freak",
praying to Him and obeying Him.
But in the end, always being
looked down upon by someone because of it.
But, thats okay. . .
Im also happy because of it.
I am a "Goody-Two-Shoes",
trying to be the best possible
person I can be.
And yet, somehow, some people tend
to find that to be a bother.
But, thats okay. . .
Im confident with the way I have
chosen to live my life.
I am a girl whod rather stay home
and play video games, instead of going
and getting my nails done.
But, thats okay. . .
I cant execute an efficient combo
if I have to worry about my expensive
nails being ruined.
I am a girl who has never had a
boyfriend. Strange, huh?
But, thats okay. . .
I have my friends and my family
so. . .I dont feel true loneliness.
Besides, Im willing to be patient,
I know theres someone out there for
me, and Im sure hell be
worth the wait.
I am a girl who loves classic
Disney movies. To some people, that
may seem childish.
But, thats okay. . .
Whats wrong with wanting to hold
precious childhood memories close
to my heart?
I am a girl who listens to Pop,
Rock, and Dance music that comes
from Japan. Its not mainstream,
I know.
But, thats okay. . .
I can jam better to my Anime
and video game soundtracks.
I am a girl who reads manga and
watches anime. I know that reading
a comic book backwards is a bit eccentric,
and that a lot of anime characters
have huge eyes.
But, thats okay. . .
Those things are what make
Anime and Manga interesting
and fun!
So, World, you want to turn
my uniqueness into fault?
Well then, so be it. Be my guest.
But, thats okay. . .
Because I dont intend to change.

So, how'd you like it?
