A Reflection

She lived in a big city
Close to her family and friends
She had to leave it at age 9

She now lives in a little town
Surrounded again by friends
She loves where she is now

She's had many problems
Many hard times in her life
She's gotten through them all

She has been hurt by love before
Many guys have walked out the door
She moved on to love again still

She's having the time of her life now
Happy with friends and being in love
She's got her life the way she wants

She still has a lot of life to live
Ready and willing to face whats there
She leaves her reflecting to another day

I'm not just A Princess, I'm THE Princess!!!!! ~*~I love Matt!~*~

This is pretty good.  I enjoyed the way you portrayed the story, but I think using "she" gets very redundant, and the fact that it's used many times can be distracting.  I understand that you're tryng to write third-person, but that's just a suggestion.

Anywho, nice work.  I like how you decided to do three lines in a stanza.  That worked well, and played out in a good meter, despite the absense of rhyme.  Very nice work

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the most frustrated people in the world are those who know they're stupid, but keep trying anyway.

I agree with Maree, a little too many shes
But all in all the story is narrated beautifully
thanks for sharing

i liked the story a lot, it gave me a picture of someone in particular, which is always good times.  keep posting your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.
