right now things are weird at home <br />my parents dont give me any freedom, no room to rome <br />things are so confusing right now <br />i gotta figure this out, i have to but i dont know how <br />so many boys like me and i like some boys <br />but i cant tell my parents that because they wont support my choice <br />my parents keep comparing me to them when they were kids <br />but i'm not them so just let me live <br />they tell me to learn from their mistakes but i dont think i can <br />i have to make my own mistakes to really understand <br />my grades arent really good and i dont really like softball anymore <br />my parents think its because i'd rather hang out then study or practice more <br />they dont like my friends because of their race <br />they always judge my friends by the color of their face <br />just because they'r not the same color doesnt make them a bad person <br />i try to explain that to them but they just dont seem to understand <br />this is my life and i'm gonna live it <br />get over the fact that i'm not you and just deal with it...<br /><br />alicia mullins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/im-not-you/
