Misunderstood


You see the girl standing there

With her hood pulled taught over her hair?

Though her face is hid in the shade,

A more beautiful creature has never been made.

No one cares about her over there. 

No one sits or talks with her. 

She freezes when she’s in a group. 

But, they freeze when her hair falls from its loops. 

Medusa is not alone because of fear

She is alone because of choice. 

She is not weird, only misunderstood and without a voice.

<p>My tears were about to fall but the last line ruined it for me. I think you should complain delete that first line and find something that WILL make my tears fall. Great job by the way!</p>
