I Wanna Be Me Poem by Jasmine Thompson

Ok I admit it.

I'm not the best friend
I'm not the greastest with advice
But I try my hardest

I put up with more stuff
than a teen ever should

I'm not athletic
I'm not a girly girl
But I like cute clothes

I take their verbal bestings
with pride

Go ahead
call me fat

I'm not pretty
I'm not perfect
but I am understanding

I'm not wanted
I'm not loved

My mom is my worst enemy
and my best friend

She wants me to be like her
but I just wanna be me
