Outside Always Looking In Poem by Johnnetta Bridges

I use to think i was weird or strange because i was always on the outside looking in. Always wanting to be part of the wrong crowd always wanting some boy to notice me. Never realizing how beautiful i was on the inside and out. Never understanding it's not being popular it's being smart, it's having your pride, dignity, self respect. Not giving in or giving out. It's loving you the key to a beautiful healthy life is loving you! !
Always remember when you love yourself you wont let people hurt you and you definately want do nothing to hurt yourself. And now im part of my own crowd loving me and realizing im worth having a beautiful and succesful life! ! !
