I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.<br /> -Marilyn Monroe


My problem is that I’m gay
That I like the same sex
And it seems that my parents,
No matter how hard they try
Can’t get past that fact

My problem is that I’m fat
I spill over my jeans, and squeeze into leggings
And it seems that I can’t
No matter what others tell me
Can’t get past that fact

My problem is that I’m not smart
I don’t understand the lesson first, if at all
And it seems that my teachers,
No matter what they know about me
Can’t get past that fact

My problem is that my poems are too dark
Too depressing,too bad, too everything
And it seems that everyone
No matter how they look at it
Can’t get past that fact

Beautiful! I love all the problems you addressed in the poem.
