I'm a Person, too...

by Rainbow - Capricorn

Don't be afraid
Cuz I look different than you...
I'm just another person,
And I have feelings too.
Is it the weird colors
Or style of my hair?
Or is it the piercings
I have here and there?
Or the collar with spikes
Or the chains that I wear?
Try to look beyond them...
And see the person in there.
What I'm trying to say,
Is don't be so prudent...
Are you aware of the fact
That I'm a straight A student?
So, remember next time you see
One of us "freaky" teens...
Most of us are good people,
But we're all human beings.

Reason for writing:

    I must admit that I used to prejudge the way these teens looked....that is until I had one of my own and realized that it is just their way of expressing themselves. My teen is a great kid...he just looks alittle weird !!! LOL
