-story of a girl-

Broken girl, damaged girl,
how are you going to change the world?
Thinking fast, walking slow,
through the wind, rain, and snow.

She's leaving town, escaping pain,
and nothing will ever be the same.
What is she doing? Where will she go?
The healing girl just does not know.

She's searching for someone to show her the way
to a new starting place where she can stay.
Her heart is aching, but she's becoming strong,
and the fear she carried is now long gone.

Growing girl, wiser girl
(as rare and valued as a pearl)
slowly re-opened the doors to her heart,
and the girl's new life could finally start.

The pretty girl believes in fate,
and through this lesson she met her mate.
Before she knew it, she began to fall,
and none of the past even mattered at all.

PS- I wrote this in class the other day. I'm no better at poetry than I've ever been, but this one has special meaning :) So, I decided to share!
