To the Few

To the few who know me,

 

Not as the quiet girl in the corner,

Not as the smart girl in class,

Not as the sister who makes every imaginary game a thousand times better,

Not as the soundboard for all your feelings,

Not as the invisible piece of air that floats around the building,

Going to class five minutes early,

 

To the few who really know me,

 

To those few who know me as a friend,

Loyal,

Honorable,

A little to caring for my own good,

Friend.

To those who know me,

 

They know I am not a puppet,

I always have five songs playing in my head,

They know I am eccentric,

They still care about me anyways,

To those few,

Those very few,

Who understand quality over quantity,

I am honored to call my friends,

 

To the few who think,

 

I am invisible,

I am a puppet,

I am just a quiet girl who sits in a corner,

Reading

and

Writing,

Hearing every

Snicker

Joke

and snide comment about who I am.

I hear you.

 

To the few who know me,

Those very few friends,

Who truly know who I am,

Who laugh with me,

Not at me,

Who want to make sure I am alright,

 

For the few people worth having,

For the few people worth knowing,

For the few people worth caring about,

 

To the few who really know me.

Hi Dominique, this is a really good write and I do agree there are really a few people that really understand us and are worthy of being called our friends. Its's true that people are sometimes judgemental and stereotype us based on their opinions but that's life and why should one live to please their standards? Nice poem, i can relate :)

good, this one has a lesson a point. This the first one I have read by you with this element. This is what will give your pieces impact. That power can change a readers perspective, even their whole life.

Thank you. This was the first piece that I really wanted to have that type of impact.
