Christine

Christine has social phobia

She doesn’t like to go outside

She is cooped up inside all day,

Hunched over a book or on the

Computer. Her days are filled

With boredom and gloom.

At the mere age of 12, she is

Accustomed to the world

That is the inside of her own

Home. She has no goals

No life, no hopes, no dreams,

She is trapped inside a box

And she can’t seem to get out

And that angers her

She hates herself for being this

Way, she wishes she could be like

Other kids. Her parents don’t care,

In fact they barely notice that she’s

There. She wonders if this is all life

Has in store for her, and for the first time

In her life, she hopes, she prays that

She’ll change.

This was great. There are people like that in the world. They don't have any goals in life and they don't get noticed. There parents completely neglect them. Which is wrong and they need to be in their child's life...if they didn't want to be parents they shouldn't have had a child in the first place. Well the poem was great. Thanks for sharing.

It makes me sad, because I spend like half of my life with a book or a laptop in my hands. Haha, maybe not half, but still.

This poem is a wonderful narrative. Another job that was well done, Kristen. You have a knack for writing.

wow Wonderful poem. There is many people out there at are just like this. And In time someday things will get better, the people that see and wish, and hope for this fear to go away will someday find there way out. Amazing poem. Keep up the great work.

Many are like this but few actually realize that there are others like this for they don't see beyond themselves. Interesting piece.

Outstanding. Wonderful poem dear, it creates wonderful imagery, I can see it as if I was in the room with her. Bravo.

You have captured the feeling of loneliness really well hon :) Not an easy thing to do, but you have created that scene well and made the poem dark and heavy, although a nice turn at the end:)
Wonderful

We're definitely going to do something fun, and I don't just mean working with Santana. I'm dragging you if I have to. :)

Some people even with time and age like the peace of loneliness. it is Ok. Each of us want less or more. Was a school teacher in Georgia. She never had kids and no husband. Taught school for 50 years. She had a good life alone in her own house with a few cats. She left 2 million dollars to the library. I like this poem. Some people need to be applauded and some like the quiet of privacy. A outstanding poem.
