Why I Am the Way I Am - An original poem by a freshman at Collins Academy

I am the way I am because I am the way I am.

I gone be the same even if I weigh one gram.

Lookin at the way I walk down the street.

Peek-a-boo

I just keep on walkin, flappin my shoes.

The way I act is not your concern.

Worrying about me I just let you burn.

You can't beat me

You can't stop me

I won't fall

No one can drop me.

From the top of my head to the bottom of my shoe,

Shawn Tytanium eyes is always on me boo!

Comments worry me.

Just let Tyshawn be.

If I'm gay or straight I'm still me.

You don't realize why you so late.

This is why I am the way I am but I don't weight one gram.

I am Tyshawn.

You can't judge me.

I am human just like you.
