I Am the Girl©

I am the girlWhose clothes were plain and simple, free of stains and tears

I am the girl

Whose hair was perfectly placed

I am the girl

Who always behaved for fear of punishment

I am the girl

Who walked on egg shells whenever you were around

I am the girl

Who worked hard to tuck away her feelings for fear of judgement, ignorance and others friendship with oblivion

I am the girl

Who always wished for something better knowing all the while that some things will just never change

I am the girl

Who is now too busy to think of the then and now

I am the girl

Who lives life as if these are the last moments of her life
