A/N – A long poem I just wrote because I feel so ded annoyed at the teachers at my school… All of them. They’re all idiots!

Longing to be Noticed

Perhaps I long to be noticed

You see me in full view

Yet your eye is blind

My actions go unheeded

I feel isolated

Different

For once I wished to be seen

To suffer the consequences

All actions have an effect

So why should mine not?

Is it not true that I

Despite my differences

Should be treated the same

In a place of equality?

For this I want to scream

It’s not fair for me

Not fair for others

I don’t want to be different

I want to be punished

To bear the bonds

So I can eventually break free

But I'm already free

And I escape the chains

I flutter from their grasp

Yet I have become so free

I wish to be caught

So I can experience

Something new

Is it not true that rebels

Only rebel so they are noticed?

Perhaps I want to rebel

Perhaps I want to take risks

But you stop me

You hold me back

You are hypocritical in my eyes

Don’t let me do it my way

For once punish me

It may be why I do this

Make my life different

But now I must wonder

Is it too late for it?

Have I become so set in my ways?

Would it break me apart?

The laughing

The jesting

The taunting

Only make it harder to bear?

Attention would be on me

Perhaps that is what I want

To stop being silent

To be hated for my opinion

To defend my friends

My family

Myself

It itself breaks me apart

To be treated so differently

So wrapped up in kindness

Please

Let me be the same

As I continue to be different

Become just a figure

No softened words

No lax hand

Perhaps it just is

That I want to be noticed
