Poem: What Difference Does It Make

People stop and look at me

They don't understand what they see

Instead the slot me into a stereotype

But I like to think we're all different prototypes

You might have already experienced what I'm about to

But to me its all new

This is my first and only chance at life

So what difference should it make if I want a husband or wife

I doesn't change that I'm just like you

I eat the same foods

I experience the same feelings and moods

I wear the same clothes

I watch the same TV shows

It's not easy being me

Because so many people disagree

With the life I lead

But what they don't understand is it isn't a want or need

It's just quite simply who I am

It shouldn't make a difference

Whether you are gay or straight

We're told not to judge someone on their appearance

So surely it isn't too late

To stop people trying to hate

Others based upon their sexuality

Because quite simply its not an abnormality

Let me know what you think.

Poem: Just Get To Know Me

Just because I'm female
Doesn't mean I believe everything ends just like a fairytale
I see the news each night
I hear the sirens attending another deadly fight
I might be nineteen
But that doesn't mean
I live up to the stereotype I'm believed to be
I'm my own person, I'm me
Look at me from the outside, tell me what do you see

I'm just another lost human being trying to follow my path in life
But yet somehow society is telling me I should be carrying a knife
I'm telling you that's not right, its definitely not me, and I don't want to take another's life

I want to stand up and show the world that we aren't all the same
You perceive us in our teens as though we all play at life as though its a game
But trust me, take it from me, we aren't all the same

You judge me because of the negativity you see on you TV screens
You see us as all the same, truth is, we only have one thing in common, we're in our teens

Don't judge me on what you see externally
Just because I have my hood up doesn't mean you have to look at me nervously
I promise you I was brought up with good manners, I'll say please and thank you
I might forget occasionally but trust me theres people older than me that don't do it at all

Your judging me on all this negativity
That you have created by looking at a small minority
Its about time that the bigger picture was taken into consideration
Because right now there is a whole population filled with alot of frustration

So don't judge me on what you think I should be
Don't judge me on what you think you should see
It's quite simple, just get to know me

Poem: Give Us A Break, You Get Me

Last night was amazing I reached the final 12 in the Strawberry Slam Poetry Competition at Strawberry Fair and did my first live performance! I had such a great time and was really pleased with my score, congratulations to the two winners their poems were awesome.

Here is my poem, I merged two of my older poems together and changed them a little bit, It's called 'Give Us A Break, You Get Me'...

Teenagers, prejudice
Louts and layabouts
Times have changed
Communities rearranged
You took away the opportunities
And are now left with what you call teenage obscenities
Just like the guns and knives carried for pride
And like all the cars taken for a joyride

Looking around and all that you can see
Is the stereotype you think I should be
It doesn't mean that I'm the same
It doesn't mean that I'm too blame
Everyone focuses on the minority
Making it seem as thought they are the majority

We're people too
Just not as important as you
Apparently you're perfect
And we're the ones who are incorrect

All we need is one chance
So that out lives will advance
I shouldn't have to prove to you
That I'm just as much of a person as you

You've taken everything away
And now you've left us with the blame
Surely you can see that we're not all the same

Give us a break,
You get me

I'll post the video of my performance onto my youtube channel soon!

Let me know what you think of the poem.

Poem: What We Are

Teenagers, prejudice
Louts and layabouts
Hoodys, scum
Times have changed
Communities rearranged
Knives carried for pride
Cars taken for a joy ride
You only see the bad
All the things that make us mad
You want us to change
But we can’t
It’s how you make us today
We need opportunities
Some sense of responsibilities
We are the youth of today
But we can’t repay to the communities
You’ve taken everything away
Then leave us with the blame

Give us a break,
You get me?
 

What do you think?
