I. Took Away My Innocence.

A poem about a girl.

By:XaGirlWithNoNameX

There is sorrow in my heart,
But a smile playing on my lips.
There are unshed tears in my eyes,
But no one to take notice of.
As I pass my fellow peers,
I keep my head low;
Not wanting them to see what they saw.
Not wanting to see the sympathy they show;
When on the inside they are enjoying the show.
The show I call my life.

Walking with my head hung low was somehow;
The best thing I did,
I now know.
I bumped into someone,
whom I've known,
Known my whole life.
But never knew I'd find a friend and not a foe.
I looked up whilst cursing under my breath,
Ready to take the blow.
Blow of sympathy and disgust,
But instead came a smile my way.
I looked around the hallway and saw,
My peers smiling,
Smiling down at me;
Some sad,
Some small but all genuine.

The person whom I bumped into,
Who changed my life is known as,
My best friend,
The only family that's left for me;
After the people I used to call my own,
Took away my innocence.
