She always had this vacant far away look about her. As if she was lost in a world, only she occupied. A kind of fear and isolation always surrended her, alone and sad like an animal that was kicked enough times that she shut herself off from the world, to protect herself. I tried to break thru the wall she had built, but I could never seem to penetrate it. Neither Love, nor any human compassion would reach her and thru many attempts of befriending her, I gave up and let her go.... I often stop and think about that girl, the one back in high school, who stirred something in me,that I never really knew was there, sure I was caring and cared about my fellow man. But this was different, I wanted to really make a difference in someones life, and I tried harder than I ever thought I could or would for that matter. And to this day, I stop sometimes and think about the gift she didnt know she gave me, the gift of getting out of my own way, to try and make a difference for some one else, someone who noone would dare talk to in school, she was an "outsider" an odd duck, but to me she wasnt She was a human being, with a heart and soul, just like anyone else who deserved a chance to be loved and respected. I hope in some small way I achieved that, that maybe somewhere, she remembers me too.... |
