The Girl She knows what it's like to cry herself to sleep night after night after night She knows what it's like to sit all alone at lunchtime and only be accompanied by a small paper bag and a ham and cheese sandwich She knows what it's like to feel inferior among her peers and invisible to the surrounding world to be laughed at, not laughed with and be completely misunderstood by everyone She knows what it's like to have no one to share her deepest thoughts and emotions with She knows what it's like to have her feelings tossed about like a worthless pile of rags and turn around to hear her very self-image being destroyed She knows what it's like to roam the world aimlessly searching for something unknown to even herself She knows what it's like to want to end it all... Yet she knows of a different world. She now knows what it's like to laugh herself to sleep She now knows what it's like to sit down and have a crowd gather around her She knows what it's like to be seen and heard by all to laugh, really and truly laugh and have her values and views actually understood by her peers She knows what it's like to be able to share her thoughts and emotions with someone she trusts She knows what it's like to have her feelings valued by others and to be spoken to, not spoken of She knows what it's like to find what she was searching for She knows what it's like to never want this to end She will never forget what it was like... The grindstone of life will either polish us or wear us down, depending on what we're made of. |

The repetition of this poem made the message come through clearly.....good poem!!  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

I agree with Dopey and I just hope she remembers where she came from so she can be friends with the same type of people. Nice poem  "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!! |
