I Just Want to be Me

Authors Note: This piece is about a girl like me, who just wants to be herself. And how people treat her different than they usually did. This piece is very emotional to me, and describes how I sometimes feel. 

I’m sick of everybody giving my so much pity and talking to me, and asking me how I feel. I’m sick of people wanting to know how I feel now, when no one talks to me at all when I’m just walking down the hallways. I don’t like when people besides my friends talk to me. I don’t like when people ask me how I feel when I know they don’t really care, they’re just trying to look good. No one really gets how I feel. I’m not the kind of girl that tells everyone how she feels and complains about how she’s feeling. I keep everything to myself. Even some of my other friends don’t even care. But no one knows how badly I just wanna be myself around everyone. No one understands how other people don’t like me because I’m shy. Some of my friends just don’t get it. I just want to yell at my friends to get all of my feelings out, but again, I don’t share my feelings. I keep it too myself, and just express myself in writing. Writing is the best way I can express myself because I’m not rushed into anything. I can take my time to really think about what I want to say. And when I get in fights with my friends, they just keep on fighting, when all I’m really trying to do is express how I feel. All I want to do is be me.
