This Poem Was Put Into A Book In 2009. So It's Very Special To Me. My First Thing Published.
im not a soup can,
so dont label me
i like pink.
does that make me a prep?
but i like to wear black.
so im a goth right?
im not a soup can
so dont label me
but i cry my self to sleep at night,
so surely that would make me emo.
oh but i get good grades too,
i guess that would make me a nerd.
im not a soup can,
so dont label me.
and when no one's looking, i dance to Aly and Aj,
that would make me a dork, am i right?
and when im bored, i play my guitar,
so i'm a rocker, correct?
im not a soup can,
so dont label me.
sometimes i march with the school band,
which would make me a band geek.
and i work hard at what i do,
does that make me a goody-goody too?
there are a million sides of me.
sides you'd hafta look to see.
sometimes im loud
or sitting quietly i may be found.
im not a soup can,
so dont label me.
dont assume theres no more to me than you see
cause when you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
i know its cliche,
but its true what i say.
im not a soup can,
so dont label me.
