Little Person ((Just another letter))

by StandStill   Jun 5, 2008


Little insomniac of a poet,
do your pretty tricks.
Show them all your smiling face
and hide your lovely wrists.

Little girl of fourteen,
fake your interests in the world.
Let them think that you're amazing,
don't let them see you're just another girl.

Little face in the crowd,
don't fear, not you.
Someday you'll fly, off the building's side,
just like you always wanted to.

Little dreamer of a child,
be strong and be so brave.
Don't let them read that suicide note
tucked beneath your pillow case.

Little imperfection,
grin and bear it like you do.
Always make sure they don't suspect this pain,
no, no pain, not from you.

    Why do you have to be so amazing? I am seriously jealous. All of your writing is simply...amazing. Everything you have written that I have read makes me smile and yet frown at the same time. Smile because they're amazing, frown if they are sad. So like the girl above me wrote, don't ever stop writing. You are an absolutely amazing poet.

    Gabby.... this poem actually made me cry. It was so beautiful but yet so bitter-sweet. No one should feel this way. Never. Especially not you. I wish you didn't. If I could, I would take all of your pain away. Give you all of the affection that we both know that you truly deserve. We all love you sweetie, don't ever doubt that. Please, keep surviving. There will be a brighter day and you'll have no more worries. Just move forward and I promise that some guy is going to realize how amazing you are and you two will be so happy together.

    I also think that my most favorite stanza in this poem was the second one. It was so relatable. I think many girls across the world feel this way. No one thinks they're amazing. Everyone has flaws. Hell, I feel this way all of the time. I thought it was great how you took something personal and turned it into something that'll make people's jaws drop because it's so stunning.

    Never stop writing, sweet heart. This right here proves that you have so much talent just begging to come out. I'm still in awe after reading this piece. You were so creative and as I've said, you made everything so realistic and relatable. The rhyme sceme was perfect and I only wish you eternal happiness and true love. Great job, hun. 5/5 <3 <3 <3
