*Sighs* I'm sure
Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
*Sighs* I'm sure
*Sighs* I'm sure you're all sich and tired of hearing about all my problems, but I came up with a poem about why I'm nervous about starting school again.
Me
My hair is too short
My shoulders, too wide,
And even I know
I should own them with pride
I don't 'cause I know
People laugh at me inside
I'm too trusting
What am I achieving?
I always think they're nice!
Why are looks so decieving?
I'm too kind,
I know that the aim
Is to get me to try,
To take all the blame
So they do good because I can't
And when asked for blame,
They call my name.
I don't have many friends,
And we're not physically strong,
And when I'm alone,
I'm not safe for long.

Well, how about this?
~~~~
Her hair is short
Her shoulders are wide
She is beautiful, and she owns that with pride
People may laugh at her on the inside,
but she is gorgeous--they simply lied.
She is trusting,
and she achieves much
She's kind so she thinks they are nice
So why do they have to be deceiving?
She's very kind
And they try
To use her to take all the blame
But when they accuse her
All they do
Is put themselves to shame
She has us as friends
She is strong in mind
For she is Lucy B.
She is one of a kind

Beautiful, Killim.
Lucy, you are loved. I know it's hard sometimes, but I believe it will get easier. Try to tune out the voices inside your head telling you you're not good enough. Listen to your friends, your family. Those who support you. We're here for you. <3

Oh, Lucy. Remember that the next time those evil people hurt you, there will be a whole army of CBers ready to defend you and point out all your AWESOME qualities.
