Spoken Word: My Poems and Thoughts

Be L.A.M.E.

Am I lame for being my own person?

I am a girl.

A young lady maturing into a woman.

I don't wear make up and I don't arch my eyebrows.

I barely dress up and I don't shop all the time because, material things don't mean much to me.

I don't party every weekend.

I don't smoke.

I don't drink.

I don't have people coming over my house all the time to chill.

I don't get into fights.

I have never gotten into a fight in my life.

I get good grades.

I like writing and reading books.

I listen to all types of music and not just hip hop.

I dance to anything that has a beat, or anything I can make a beat out of.

I like to eat, a lot.

I'm lazy.

I sleep most of the day and I'm up all night doin nothin.

I don't encourage violence.

I've been bullied.

I've made mistakes and everyone does.

But I realized my mistakes were only because I was trying to impress someone else.

If I would've just been myself, my life would be different.

So now I'm back to just being me.

Being a nerd.

A dork.

A weirdo.

So if you think I'm mud for not doing the dumb things you do, then so be it.

I am lame for being my own person.

I'm L.A.M.E.

Loving life.

Achieving goals.

Making the right decisions.

Eliminating all negativity.

#BeLAME

Spread the movement! Post a picture of you on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, anywhere, of you being yourself.  Being L.A.M.E. and hashtag "BeLAME" I'm starting a movement that's encouraging young teens, females especially, to not be pressured to fit in. We're all beautiful and if someone can't like you for you, then you need to L.A.M.E. them and ELIMINATE them out of your life. Spread the movement everyone!
