Poem For English B

I love to write
But I am not a writer
I love to draw
But I am not an artist
I love music
But I am not a musician
I love making poetry
But I am not good with words//

I like being different
But I don't like attention
I like my name
But I can't stand what it stands for
I like my hair
But I still change the color
I like having a bunch of friends
But I am not "popular"//

I like being funny
But hate being laughed at
I like talking to people
But I hate speaking to crowds
I like being Minnesotan
But I can't wait to move
I like standing out
But I wish to be invisible//

This may seem strange to you
But for me it's true
It comes from in me
It's my page for English B.//
