A girl

A personal poem to me.

A girl

Who never knew her place

Who didn’t always have the “right” friends

Who did things her own way

Who read much more than the others

Who was very quiet

Who was sometimes excluded on sports teams

Who was frustrated with the social pyramid

Who was through with being different

Who would rather stand in the shadows

Who was emotionally guarded

Who often worried about embarrassing herself

Who had trouble being herself

Who struggled getting close to people

Who often pushed people away

Who was an occasional “opportunist”

This was who she was.

 

Now she is a girl

Who is figuring out her place

Who is trying to be a better friend

Who is working on staying positive

Who is breaking her walls down

Who is becoming herself

Who is not worrying over every mistake

Who is accepting she can’t change things

So she should learn to deal with them.

 

That is who I was.

Whether I like it or not, I am who I am,

And this is who I’m going to be.
