I often wish for others to let me be
I often wish for the right to make a decree
I often wish for her to set me free
I often wish for her just to see me

I sit and smile as I look in past
To see the failure of all that didn't last
Hidden faces beneath the ugly mask
On the honor role is my cast
In a blur time went so fast

The future stares me in the face
I have a home but no place
Water eyes sprayed with mace
I travel in the human race
Why won't she dress in lace

I love this. The ryhme was excellent and it flowed lovely. But this stanza below is just outstanding and I love it!

I sit and smile as I look in past
To see the failure of all that didn't last
Hidden faces beneath the ugly mask
On the honor role is my cast
In a blur time went so fast

And I hope you know that If i had a popsicle right now, I would so have to give it to you for writing this awesome poem that is here before me.

I have a home but no place..."

Sad but well written.
I disagree that clothes that makes the person as it's what's in the heart that counts.
Still in the schools I'm sure that's the way the peers look at it and that is very sad.
huggs,
emy

Gosh, There seem to be many unhappy people in this world. I too wish there was a clear way, yet I have faith that things happen for a reason and trust that they will work out as they should...good luck.

great flow here. yeah, we've all felt this way at sometime. the important thing is to make sure it's not 4ever.
