Self-Portrait Poem:  ME

A shrimp, a shrub
frustrates me that stature's
a main deciding factor
in whether peers treat one fairly.
Integrity is more important.
Stressed-I'm indecisive, inconsistent in effort
insufferable when bored,
hostile when angry,
quite quiet when feeling down.
Summer and fun
what's not to like?
I'm happy in the sun;
I can swim, climb trees, bike.
Finally time to take a rest
from onslaughts of projects,
boring homework,
hard tests.
loathsome lot.
Among friends, I am
casual, confident, comfortable.
In new groups, I feel
uneasy and self-conscious
I've been told,
"You're so smart," like a "genius"
I feel like I'm seen as
nothing more.
Just a brain minus
the section containing personality.
My friends know that
I'm clever and comical.
AD/HD makes me unique.
Dreams of comedy
coupled with chemistry
comprise my basic ideal
job.  I love to entertain;
molecular properties spark my interest.
once I ate yellow play-doh
pretending it was cheese.
it tastes dreadfully, disgustingly salty
Bad mistake.
