It's Just Me, Not Him Or Her Poem by Tony Montoya

You can't copy but you like the title kid
I just hope everybody understand what I just said
you can like but don't copy

here and now I'm a show you who I was and who I am now
I use to wanted to hang with cool kids in school, do what they do,
wear what they wear and talk that talk
but one thing was happening and I didn't know
I was turning into something like a robot and i didnt know
I bacame this person; do that, wear this and do this two
cuz that's what all the cool people do!

Years later it hit me: I was told to pick a picture and write what I see and feel
thinking to myself 'what would the cool people say and how would they feel? '
than it hit me 'it my life, how do I feel and what I see not what other see
becuz that's not me'

now a days I express myself, I'm not him or her
the way I think, the clothe I wear what I eat and speak
is me
