I wrote this one night... I don't know what exactly it is...

[LostAngels]

I'm not someone who writes poetry, or songs, or anything, really.*
But one night a couple weeks ago, I just wrote this. I was thinking about how out of place I feel in my high school, mentally. I'm tired of how trivial all of my peers' issues are, and I'm tired of being told by everyone to stop 'taking things so seriously', etc, because I focus primarily on significant, world-wide issues opposed to hanging out with friends, sleep overs, partying and getting drunk.*

So here it is, and I just feel like its something I want people to hear. It defines who I am, but I don't know what this piece of writing would be called...

"Throughout my life
I have been recurrently reminded by my peers that I can not "change the world", and therefor should "stop trying."*
In contempt of this being a rather generic, meaningless phrase that merely implies for someone to quit taking something so 'seriously',*
I have always taken it quite seriously.*
I am not so naive to think I ever could make such an impact, but I do know that I am fortunate enough to possess the unique and persevering characteristics required to*
Completely dedicate myself towards trying.*

I've also been told a countless amount of times to "just ignore" those who I see acting offensively, cruelly, and unjustifiably inconsiderate towards their peers. And regardless of whether or not I do some day make a successfully large positive impact, the one promise I've made to myself, which I will forever keep, is to not ever just 'ignore' such acts, and to use the emotional strength that I have been blessed with to help anyone and everyone to the best of my ability, who can't quite yet do it on their own.

im not sure its poetry but it is an amazing look inside of how your mind works. ur the kind of person we need more of in the world before the rest of the population sets earth on fire. you seem very compassionate and maybe u should find those who think more like u so u can be more understood.
honestly u sound alittle like me. though im never very serious when its not called for. i have a very bubbly attitude. but when it comes to things like seeing others get bullied or a girl crying in the hallway. i dont care bout situation i always step in. dont let what those people say stop u, being a bystander and not doing anything is just as guilty as the bully
