“Go home and write
A page tonight
And let that page come from you –
Then it will be true.”
Well, here goes nothing.
She is a seventeen year old female
Stuck in a fantasy world
A world of unknown creatures
Both friend and foe
Let’s start out with the obvious
She is, on the outside, your normal teenager
On the inside, a war is being fought
Life and death; love and hate
Which will be the outcome?
Which will prevail?
On the good side of her
Reading, writing and video games
Those three are her life
True friends, family and music
What else could she need?
Oh, just one more thing – her tiny little box
You see, it’s simple
She gives in easily
To her tiny little box
Her tiny little box holds
Her tiny little friend
Her cold, silver, sharp friend
Her friend that’s always there
When she’s in a bad place
Her friend is there to help
Not knowing her friend
Is truly messing with her health
But what can she do,
When her little friend is all she knows?
She has tried to stay away from her friend
She tries very hard
But sometimes it isn’t enough
Reading and writing can
Sometimes keep her friend away
Not always though
Her friend is a strong one
Where is all of the good that she has?
Where is all of her happiness?
She doesn’t know
She doesn’t care at times either
After all of that
Where’s the good in her, again?
She seems to be a good person
She’s always there if anyone needs to talk
She doesn’t judge and doesn’t hate
So why’s she like this?
Well, no one knows
But she tries her hardest to be happy
For those she loves
Heck, even those who she doesn’t
Because guess what?
She is beautiful and deserves to be happy.

In my Writing Workshop class we were supposed to write a poem/short story or make a painting, etc. that reflects us and tells the class about us.
