Poetry: New beginnings

by Heather Norman

Created on: March 02, 2009

Take me away from this place

disconnect me from all I know.

I need a place

where no one knows my face

and I can be who I am inside.

For too long now I have been that girl;

the one everyone knows and asks how its going.

How my mom and brothers are.

Is my brother still in jail and do I still fight with my mom.

How is my boyfriend? Are things any better?

If you'd just stop asking, I would tell you.

Stop assuming I'm that girl

Actually I have changed.

But you are all to stuck on the past

to see it, I suppose.
