All my life<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been the new kid<\/span><\/p>\n

The one searching desperately <\/span><\/p>\n

For a niche<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The girl <\/span><\/p>\n

Who went into a classroom<\/span><\/p>\n

Of \u201cfriends for years\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing no one<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The soul<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanting only acceptance<\/span><\/p>\n

The ease to be herself<\/span><\/p>\n

Without judgment<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only acting<\/span><\/p>\n

As she pleased without thought<\/span><\/p>\n

Being comfortable when everyone laughed<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of questioning why<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To live<\/span><\/p>\n

And breathe and smile<\/span><\/p>\n

Living in the moment<\/span><\/p>\n

Being the best she could be<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Without trying to play the role<\/span><\/p>\n

Of someone on stage<\/span><\/p>\n

Vying for attention<\/span><\/p>\n

Wishing for someone to want to know her name<\/span><\/p>\n
