Main Attraction
June 27, 2013
Come one, come all
Move quickly and reserve the best seats
The show is about to begin
The lights go dim, and a hush falls over the crowd
But as the curtains are drawn, a question is raised
A question that provokes an uproar
What is the main attraction
She is a girl
And nothing more
On the contrary, heed these words
Scrutinize her as though she were a freak
And soon enough that is what she will become

Wow1 This is very powerful! This brings me to relate - to the scrutenizers. I guess that's sad, because it shows how shallow I and others can sometimes be. I hope you (or whoever this is about) can find someone who digs beyond common perception of a person and realize who you/they are. Really strong writing!
