Favorite Quote:
Don't let anybody look down on you because you are young. But set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

She walks - through the halls
Snickering- laughing
Every eye upon her
Step by step- she goes

Without any friends
No one- to trust
No one- to talk to
To support her

Her weight
Uncontrollable
No one- understands
This image- not her own

She hides- in the dark
No one notices-
That she hurts
Society- against her

The author's comments:
We had to write like Emily Dickinson in Creative Writing, so it's pretty depressing. Not my favorite thing to write about.
