And she wondered...

At times she looked for an escape in her dreams
wanted badly to live them for real,
And everything seemed to be just a scene,
She's still hurting.....its surreal.

Come out of the smoke,
Perform a master stroke,
Cuz you top the class ,each semester.

Go get ur stuff,
the SATs are in your cup
Don't lose ur mind,
Your going to college next year.

Yeah, that could be right
But more than anything, she wanted peace of mind,
At nights she cried herself to sleep , in the morning she couldn't tell why,
She doesn't have a true friend till now, she wonders if that's cuz she's too shy??

This is seventeen, this was supposed to be fun and bright
But this time they're confined.
That could be the reason, or maybe its not;
Yeah, she had friends but they seemed so envious
Thus, she felt alone!

She wondered...

What if she had a next door Archie
Or a beanie headed beau...yeah !Jug!
She felt so suffocated there,
Her arms just needed a tight hug, and her happiness just needed a slight tug.

She wanted somebody to talk to, 
And fix her right there,
She wanted someone who she could trust,
And forget all about her fears.


The author's comments:

This piece of poetry is a sneak into the mind of a seventeen year old teenage girl in this situation. 

She has a lot to say to her pals but can't find someone to listen to her. Thus, she talks to herself as she knows, for how long will a grown up would be interested in her teenage musings? Hence, she doesn't expect anyone to understand her, but herself.

She has academic pressures going on, and as mentioned in the poem, she indeed has been a bright student from her childhood till now..

But everyone wants a gentle blow of fresh breeze to be felt in their skin...isn't it?
