Unseen beneath the shell

by just a little girl   May 2, 2007


Soft screams from a young teen who doesn't have the strength to be heard.
She longs to be seen and reconised for her beauty within
But this world in which she is trapped knows only the being which she has created on the outside- her shell
A shell that can be cracked and slowly start to break.
Letting all that is good and pure inside of her flow out into the darkness of the night.
Slowly at first
But then the uncontrollable rush will come as her shell splits in half.
What she has now lost in that way can never be regained.
More parts will begin to break off - taking with it her strength, wisdom, empathy and happiness.
Soon there will be nothing left but a name and the pictures she left behind.
Everyone will talk of what could have been - if only she had been seen.

    I love the conceptual message behind the poem, my only suggestion would be that you could use some better vocabulary and diction. Good overall. 4/5
