Analysis of One of a Kind



Some people say I’m different
my parents say I’m unique,
not in a mean or bitter way
but nice and sweet.

but sometimes I feel alone
since no one is really like me,
but I remember that I am on a different path
and I have to remember the goals I see.

I am glad to know
that God is always here
and will always stay sincere,
that he will always love me
and keep me as
One of a Kind.

About this poem

This poem is about how I always have goals for myself but I would always get made fun of for speaking “proper” or just wanting to do well in life. As a black girl teen we are expected to be ghetto or just be total failures, so this is a poem for all these girls to keep pushing and succeeding no matter what.

Ronna Kelly

Hi! I am Ronna, I am an active 13 year old girl who loves playing instruments, sports, and doing well in school. But through all this fun comes stress, how I deal with this stress is by writing poetry it makes me feel safe and makes me feel like my words will always be remembered once their put on my notebook. After I play professional basketball I want to be a child psychologist so that teens like me can come to me and I can be like their notebook when they want to free verse. more…
