The Lost Poem

...And she lost it

she packed a bag and left

Leaving it all behind 

All her family and friends 

To do what, 

 Accomplish something real?

 

Where was she going?

who knows?

she was going away 

to start new 

 

Her family didn’t care 

friends wanted her to stay 

but she knew that 

if she stayed

she would be miserable 

for the rest of her life. 

 

And she didn’t want that 

she took the midnight train 

into town

took some money from the family safe 

enough for her to get by 

she stayed undercover and unseen

 

Her parents tried looking for her 

begging that her friends needed her 

 

She didn’t care

that she failed at school 

no matter how hard she tried 

she always failed 

her councilor said 

“maybe school isn’t for everyone” 

 

She got her life together 

she had a home to live in

and she kept it clean 

when she looked at it

she thought it was beautiful 

 

Now her dreams of becoming a  model 

could finally come true 

so she auditioned with a smile 

they accepted her 

now she is extremely healthy

 

Her diet is changed

her parents watch her on TV 

they were happy that 

she was happy

doing what she loved

 

This is the story of her

lost poem 

She wrote it herself 

Can you guess her name?
