"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."- C.S. Lewis


She’s not a show off, she’s talented
She’s not a martyr, she’s modest
She doesn’t brag, she tells about her accomplishments
She doesn’t have a boyfriend, she has boy friends
She’s not a weirdo, she’s just herself

You walk by her in the hall
You notice that she’s there
You’re glad that she’s your friend

She’s not athletic, but she can make a basket
She’s not a genius, but she gets straight A’s
She’s not a nerd, but she reads a lot
She’s not a saint, but she’s kind
She’s not fashionable, but she always looks nice


You walk by her in the hall
You notice that she’s there
You’re glad that she’s your friend.

I wrote this poem because this is the kind of girl that I strive to be. I want to be kind, smart, modest, and talented. I wrote this piece to inspire other girls to be the best person that they can be.
