I'm not the ''Scum from Swartz Creek''. <br />I'm not the ''Geek from Gaines''. <br />I'm not the ''Brat from Byron'', <br />but the stigma still remains. <br /> <br />I've worn so many labels <br />and I've lived up to them all. <br />I refuse to be put on display. <br />I just can't take the fall. <br /> <br />If what you see is ugly, <br />or I'm just not what you'd be, <br />try to see how important it is <br />that you be you and I be me. <br /> <br />Remember, I'm not the Scum from Swartz Creek. <br />I'm not the Geek from Gaines. <br />I'm not the Brat from Byron, <br />but the stigma still remains.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-me-12/
