I am humble,
    Not cowardly.
I am realistic,
    Not self-demeaning.
I am protective,
    Not insecure.
I am productive,
    Not a work-a-holic.
I am busy,
    Not alone.
I am selective,
    Not withdrawn.
I am upstanding,
    Not pious or conceited.
I am quiet,
    Not heartless.
I am truthful,
    Not a tattle tale.
I am a person,
    Not a sob story.

Don't treat me like one.
People make assumptions about me and how I act.  I do my homework quickly, therefore I have no life.  I love God and Jesus, therefore I'm pius, concieted, and narrow-minded.  I don't talk too much to outsiders, therefore I'm a social recluse with no emotions.  I do my best to put other people first and be humble, therefore I obviously don't have a good image of myself and am too cowardly to be myself.

Seriously people.  Stop judging a person you know on looks and habits alone.  I work hard because it makes me feel accomplished.  I don't talk when there's nothing to say.  I put other people first because I want them to realize that they are beautiful people.  I love God and Jesus because He first loved me.  I like to tell things like they are because it's stupid to sugar-coat things when it'll only hurt someone in the end.  I don't lie because it only ensnares people in traps they can't escape and I don't have time for that crap.  It's who I am.  I have reasons for my traits.  I don't need you to imagine what they are.

No one has time to have their life's story made up for them when the real thing is a lot simpler and a lot more real.

STAHP!!  THIS IS MAH THOUGHTS AND MY POEM!  You can, if you'd like, make a poem similar to this but pertaining to you.  Tag me in the description so I can read it.  BUT OTHER THAN THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE TIHS POEM WORD FOR WORD AND PASS IT OFF AS YOUR OWN!  NO GO, MAN!  NO GO!

Ah, people are very quick to these assumptions. I definitely know how that feels... *sigh*
