Not Just Me

"There's a girl in the corner
With tear stains on her eyes"
Are those your eyes too,
Or just mine?
"She says, 'How did I get here?
I'm not who I once was"
Have you changed too,
Or just me?
"Well she tries to believe it
That she's been given new life"
Are you trying to believe your life too,
Or just me?
"She'll try to do better
But then she's too weak to try"
Do you ever feel weak,
Or just me?
"You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes"
This is true for you too,
It isn't just me.

  1. This is an amazing piece!! Using the quotes in it made it interesting and it flowed nicely. I love how you asked questions after every quote and was consistent. My favorite part was the end, because it is so true! :)
