this is a kinda old one. this girl isn't alone anymore..yay..

She is surrounded
She's all alone
Her grins are reigning
Her sadness has grown
She is walking, steady...
She flys away
She is alive
She died yesterday
Her skin is pale
Her skin is blue
She is dancing
Her feet are frozen, it's true
That her grin's still reigning
And her tears still flow
She's still surrounded
She's still alone.

Well if San replies to a poem, it means it is good. And i'll have to agree with him on this one. Great job cutie pie!

Most people go through hard times in their life when they feel alone, this poem puts those feelings into words well.  That's my opinion   I think the begginning does a great job of setting up the feeling of the rest of the poem.

She's all alone"

This is a very good poem. True, many people, especially teens, feel that they have to "live a lie". I'm that that you aren't "alone" anymore.  

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.
