The life of a girl

by sammy miami

This is the story of a girl

who moved around in her youth.

She finally found her place in the captiol of grace.

She found friends and her meaning of life, but it was taken away so soon.

She moved to a town she did not know of, and went to a school where it really sucked.

The boys were jerks, the girls were stuck up, and no matter what the teachers did, they stayed the same. Junior high came and went, and then high school was there.

She fell more behind, and did not know her meaning of life. 

Why?

Why would God take her from her life, her friends. 

It was not until she found new teachers, new friends.

Music helped her through, and writing was her true passion.

Now she is almost back to her way of life, and knows where she is going.

<p>OK, I&#39;ve read both of your poems.&nbsp; My favorite line you&#39;ve written so far has been the last line of your &quot;Why I Write&quot; poem because it sounded the most like, well, poetry.&nbsp; The words didn&#39;t speak, they began to sing.&nbsp; Your writing so far sounds like a journal entry that has been put into lines (which might also be my writing, now that I think about it).&nbsp; Maybe we both need to work more on finding out how to make a free-verse poem flow like a poem, not an autobiography.&nbsp; Good luck.&nbsp; I look forward to more.&nbsp;</p>
