When You Look At Me, I Look Back At You
I am a man.
A masculine Image of my father
I stand tall and brave
I tighten my tie
I stand up tall
Look at me against the wall
Do you wish I fall
I never said I am a man
I am a woman
I am short
I have learned I am not allowed to distract
A feminine woman of my mother
I don’t wear dresses
I fight for this country
I never said I was a man but I act like one don’t I
I am a mirror
I reflect peoples words
I drip when someone crys
People look at me
Not in the way I look at you
No one will ever look at you the way I do
I am a human
A villent emotional sob story
I may not be what you perceived me to be
Humans

I am a sophomore In high school and have very big dreams. I have been told to publish my pieces because I am an amazing writer. This is a step for me to finally accept who I want to be. In an elective class for Junior and Seniors, we have a lot of choice and freedom. This piece Is the product of looking at an image and writing the whole time.
