understand
July 23, 2014
she doesn't understand herself just as much as the other kids don't
she has no idea how un-alone she is
keeping herself hidden from everyone is the only way to keep away from all the judgement
all the other kids don't see her as her but as a freak
no one understands her as much as she does not understand herself

thank you so much
So beautifully written!! You kind of pictured in your poem a part we all go through once in a lifetime. So everyone can easily relate to this just I certainly do. It was really great so keep up the good work and you'll reach the highest tops soon ^_^ Thanks for sharing this.

Reminded me of myself when I was younger, didn't hang around too many people. I was never really bullied but I saw some of it happened. I may not be able to relate entirely but I do understand. Stand strong and keep writing!
