Ever since the 5th grade I was “that girl.” “That girl” that was always picked last for the team. “That girl” who eats lunch alone in the hallway. “That girl” who listens to her music on full blast. Block out the thoughts that remind me of who I am. “That girl.” Nameless. Easily forgotten. What’s “that girl’s” name again? Overshadowed. Cropped out of photos. Cut out of memories. It won’t be long until I’m no longer “that girl.” I’ll just be “that girl” everyone has forgotten about. I’ll be nothing.

"That Girl"
Ever since the 5th grade I was “that girl.” “That girl” that was always picked last for the team. “That girl” who eats lunch alone in the hallway. “That girl” who listens to her music on full blast. Block out the thoughts that remind me of who I am. “That girl.” Nameless. Easily forgotten. What’s “that girl’s” name again? Overshadowed. Cropped out of photos. Cut out of memories. It won’t be long until I’m no longer “that girl.” I’ll just be “that girl” everyone has forgotten about. I’ll be nothing.
