It was the day of the poem. Kate did this 

" I will not be judge on looks 

I will not let my life be judge on my race 

Nor gender 

Not sexuality

Or even beliefs," she said. It was simple and kinda dumb Veronica was next hers was great and I was last. I walked up to the front of the class. "Hi I'm Alia and I started writing a poem that turned into a song this is for all the people who feel like they are not important," I started. I started to sing quietly this. 

"Do you ever feel like a misfit?

Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
I got a little louder and was twirling my long brown hair. 
Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)Can you hear the whispers all across the room?
You feel her eyes all over you like cheap perfume
You're beautiful, but misunderstood
So why you tryna' be just like the neighborhood?I can see it, I know what you're feelin'

I knew I could do this I was ready!So let me tell you 'bout my little secret
I'm a little crazy underneath this
Underneath thisDo you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)Oh so, dressed so fancy like Sid and Nancy (yeah)
Walkin' Killer Queen, gotta keep 'em guessin'

I could tell the teacher was a little iffy on the words. So baby come pass me a lighter
We're gonna leave 'em on fire
We're the sinners and the blessingsI can see it, I know what you're feelin'
So let me tell you 'bout my little secret
I'm a little crazy underneath this
Underneath this, ooh...Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)You're king and you're queen
You're strong and you're weak
You're bound but so free
(Ah-ah-ah)
So come and join me
And call me Harley
And we'll make a sceneDo you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)

I finished the song the whole class clapped. Kate looked at me and did a silent clap. "Alia Mercer principals office," The teacher said. I was pissed. Sorry for my words. "I grabbed my back pack and walked up to the office. Veronica and the others where shocked. I sat down. "I'll call your parents," the principal said. I sat there waiting for my dads.
