Ignored Poem by Nichole Herrin

Everyone around me
Doesn't hear me.
They say, 'oh I know what you going through.'
They think they do.
They think they know what it's
like to be in my shoes
but they never can
Because they aren't me.
They never will be
They ignore what I have to say
They think it's wrong
because it's not their
opinion.
Everything
has to be
their way
or its wrong
I guess then
that I'm just wrong
In being me. I know that Im me
and that will never change no matter
what. But they always try to change you.
They don't care about the effects after
just about if it's their way
They will always ignore
what I have to say.
