P. 43
WHO IS SHE?
She walks the halls
Alone and afraid.
Her head held high
So people don’t see her as weak. Her mean demeanor
And angry look.
Her scowl
Shows no kindness.
This is how she is.
Never letting anyone see who she is. Never letting anyone see her true colors. She knows too much.
She wasn’t raised on the streets. She wasn’t raised in the “ghetto.” But you don’t need to be
To learn the hard truth
That the more you talk,
The more secrets you reveal.
And the more you smile,
The easier it is to hurt.
She wants friends.
Oh, how badly she wants true friends. But how can you trust people
To walk alongside that thin, thin line, When she can’t even trust herself To not jump.
