Brandino:
I've basically been in the position you are in now. I've met a girl that means the world to me, i would literally die for her, but again, i dont know what she thinks of me for a multitude of reasons. First being that she's leaving the country in 3 weeks. Hell i have problems without seeing/talking to her over the weekend let alone 6 weeks of holidays....
And what the people here are saying is true, the people out there are just like you. Here's a poem anna (the girl) gave me, one of her friends wrote it.
reality
i want to write a poem
about who people really are,
and how they build defensive walls
to keep themselfs afar,
from people just like themselfs
on that they must abide,
by the rules and pressures
that create the person that's inside.
i want to write a poem
about what people really think,
and how they should be a massive chain,
and not a tiny link.
They try to be the best they are,
and think it's not enough.
Rely to much on luck and fate,
and life becomes to tough.
I want to write a poem that says,
what people have become,
they hide their souls inside their shells,
don't realise that it's dumb.
to hide themselfs behind a wall
away from prying eyes,
of people all just like themselves,
creatures in disguse.
People who try to be somebody else,
because they think they won't be accepted,
for who they really are.
This was written by a 16 year old, and it literally describes me down to a T. I was under teh impression i was the only one who thought like this, sorry but it just aint so.
we send emails to eachother, even though she goes to my school. im far more open and much more like myself at home, rather than changing your personality so the jocks think slightly higher of you. trust me,
the jocks can go to hell
Be yourself. That's all that matters. the biggest mistake you can make is being taken for the person that you're not. it happened to me, and im still wearing the effects of it. ive spend a good year trying to clear my name, and it's finally wearing off.
just talk, remember, you aren't the only one out there
Just my $0.02
BTW, to all u adult readers out there, just a little insight into your teenagers
