You'd Never Think...[Written 2-18-2007]

I wrote this about two years ago when I was a Junior in high school. I was upset about some things and felt bad about how some of the things my friends were going through. lemme know what you think.

You'd never think
That the person standing
Next to you
Has the same problems,
The same actions
Done to her.

You look at a person
And only see their image,
But on the inside,
They are just like you
They're hurt, they're sad
They're everything inside;

Just like you,
They've got their problems.

You wouldn't think that

The that the peron sitting
Next to you
Is a divorced child
Looking for reasons
But can't find them

So she blames

Herself, since

There is no other
Reason she can
Think of.

You'd never think
That person
In the mirror
Actually is yourself;

Looking like she's ok
When really she is hurt
But she is not alone.

There one millions of
Others, just like herself;
Hurt inside, but
Laughing and perky outside.

The things you never 
Think of in a person
You barely see in
School, they are all
Just like you.

We all are the same, for we are all the ones stuck playing life and its game. If you never felt pain, then how are we the same, yet if I do feel pain, I have someone to blame. The image is vivid in my head, I can picture it all, I saw it with every word you said. I can see the tear in the girl that wants to belong, I can hear her single lyrics of misery in a song. I can feel myself walking the halls, and now I see it all different, for now I'm recalled.

Very interesting piece of writing because a lot of people can relate to it. Great details and the descriptions are vivid which brings out the imagery in the poem well. Sometimes people don’t think that others have problems just like they do simply because they don’t show it. Great poem, you’re a good writer. :D
