What I Want Most In The World

When you’re young, you see the world as this huge beautiful place and you think you can be anything you want. You don’t get judged for your hopes and dreams. Your biggest problem is when you'll be able to take a nap. You never fear what people think about you or if you look good enough. When we were young, no one cared what you liked to do or who you hung out with. Why now? Why does it matter what grades I have, why does it matter if I don’t hang out with people who you think are “popular”. Why am I called a teachers pet for listening and doing what i'm told?

I want to be accepted for who I am not forced to change. I don’t want people to freak out like it's the craziest thing that ever happened if they get a better grade than me or if I forget something.

I’M NOT PERFECT!

I want to go to school and do my best. I want to hang out with my friends and play cards and not have to worry about what others think. I want to not be afraid of what people will say when I make a mistake.

I’M NOT PERFECT!

I want to go to school and not get mocked and teased for trying my best and having pride in my work. I don’t want to worry about people trying to mess me up or destroy my work because they think its funny.

I’M NOT PERFECT!

So stop acting like I have to be. Stop judging me for everything I do.

What I want more than anything in the world, is for everyone to be accepted and respected. For no one to have to worry about what others think or say. For no one to be afraid of being themselves.

Please
