This Is Me Poem

I live my life in leg braces

You look at me like I'm an alien

Once you click that play button I start talking

I chase that shooting star to the mountains

You hold a book, inside are my words I write

I express my words through a microphone

I never thought I would be in a place to get a diploma

I have a thought bubble above my head criticizing me

I'm afraid of being alone

I don't want an "F" on my paper of life

I am a cowgirl

I am afraid of getting rejected

This is me
