POEM........

 FROM (WILL IT EVER BE OKAY???) JOURNAL........

Please dont judge me by my face,
by my religion or my race.
Please dont laugh at what I wear,
or how I look or do my hair.
Please look a little deeper,
way down deep inside.
And although you may not see it,
I have a lot to hide.
Behind my clothes the secrets lie,
behind my smile, I softly cry.
Please look a little deeper,
and maybe you will see.
The lonely little girl,
that lives inside of me.
Please listen carefully to her,
she'll show that she is insecure.
Please try to be a friend to her,
and show her that you care.
Please just get to know her,
and maybe you will see.
That if you just look deep enough,
you'll find the real me.

THIS POEM REMINDS ME OF MY OLDER TEENAGE DAUGHTER. SHE IS IN 10TH GRADE AND SHE IS SO CONFUSSED ABOUT EVERYTHING. IT'S LIKE THE POEM - INSECURE.

I REMEMBER THOSE YEARS AND I WISH I COULD GO THROUGH THIS FOR HER........

MY GOAL IS TO BE THERE FOR HER, AT ANY TIME SHE NEEDS ME......
