Myself Poem by Jessica Shehan

hey this is jessica and im not great
i've been trying to lose weight
i have horrible thoughts
i have been caught'
doing things i shouldn't
i dont see why people ask me to change, i couldnt
i got drunk, smoked, partied almost all my life
i couldn't even see myself as a wife
and wouldn't want to
im just not like you
i have things about me i don't like
i didn't even know i had an uncle named mike!
my dad hated him cause he was better then the rest
i don't see how they didn't tell him that his own father was put to rest!
i am trying to change
and i might seem strange
but i can't be 100% perfect
all i want is respect
i am who i am and im sorry if you don't like it
i might not always fit
in crowds that are different
i think a girl should become president,
just want to say really i can't be everything you wish i was
i am only human and i mkae mistakes its not for a good cause
but i am just me
if you don't like it, thats how its gonna be
