A poem written by one of our talented teens:

She Never Knew

She sits there pondering about life
She’s so quiet and stiff like a statue
Thinking about all the hardships
She wants to know if anything will change
Life hasn’t been easy, but she has survived
She sits in the dark, quiet, and gloomy room


She has never had friends, but likes to be different 
Blue tears run down her cheeks, she thinks it will never change
Always independent and now she wants to be something
She now figures life will change to be something
Still thinking, finally notices everything will change
Now she is smiling and the room has lighten with happiness
