Description "I am not a slut.
I am not a freak.
I am not a dropout.
I am not a lawbreaker.
I have plans for my future that do not include razors, needles, guns, or cliffs.
I listen to music with questionable lyrics, but have enough brains to not do what they say.
I listen to music with a message, too, even if the message is said a little differently.
I am a little different, too.
I rebel my own way, without hurting anyone around me.
I admit I dress this way for attention.
I admit it because your presumptions amuse me.

You won't talk to me. You'll just stare at me.
You'll only scoff at me. I'll mock you for that - it's just my way.
How amusing -- thank you for stereotyping.

You're weary of me. You'll say hello.
I'll smile - it might be a little imposing. You might get uneasy. Oh well, "Hey."
I'm not so bad -- who needs stereotyping?" ~dani-jou

This is from a theology project due for school. I thought I should share. If you like the message, look up the song "Nailed to the X" for straightedge basics, or anti-drug websites for information. Or you could just ask me.. n.n;

PS. This is the same girl as in the picture "You presume..." Just without all her makeup on. The point is that people see her one way and miss the fact that she's just a normal person with a few different tastes.

Woha, mon... I really like the idea you're getting through! And not to mention, you got it through dang well... Just how you got this one to look so different yet the same as the first kept me gawking for a moment... And the poem is even better.
It's sad how most people usually just live believing in only stereotypes, and prefer not to really care about the person themself. >> You really did great on this.

:3 If this doesn't get a damnithed good grade... Then you must slap many, random people of school-like authority to make them pay for their bad judgement!
And then get suspended for a while. *coughcough*

Okay... nevermind... skip the whole slapping part. xD; *nerrr*
