She has been riding this long road
looking to reveal her happiness.
Shy should have been
her name.
She uses mascara to cover
her tears.
The memories make
the black mascara
run down her
cheeks.
Emotional should have been
her name.
Although she is heartbroken,
she keeps a smile on her face.
She keeps to herself,
and thinks to herself
that she is afraid of
falling back in love,
not skipping back
to the past.
Run to the future
and see what it holds.
Strong should have been
her name.
Snapshots, vignettes, and stories by the students of Greater Egleston High School.
