She is weird they say
But little they are aware
she is just anyone wrapped
in the weirdness she wear.
She is a nerd they say
But little they know
It is a way
to escape her life's woe.
She is the girl once, they say
with a goofy grin.
But now they wonder
where is the goofy girl?
And so she say.
'Oh you, I'm here.
Scarred and scared more
of the demons that come tapping at my heart's door.
Demons entreating to enter my soul
Demons if I embrace will render
my existence easier.
But I refuse to surrender.
Instead I choose the hard way,
the right way to go.
For even in the darkest night
will flicker a little star of hope is the vow.'
My first poem that I ever wrote.
