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?
