I write all these poems
About all these feelings
But none I know about
I've had glimpses
But nothing strong
Not even love
I've lived a sheltered life
Sheltered from any true emotions
In the past, I was the one that was intelligent.
I was the quiet one.
I was the teacher’s pet.
I was criticized for being a girl on the drumline.
I was the one that played too soft.
I was the liked one.
There is a yard
And a great tall tree
Instructing what to draw and write
There is a fence of chain
Between the lilacs and me
There is a garden
That only grows dirt
