Crescent_Moon

My favorite time
is when the rain falls
and the sun shines
Two opposites 
colliding in a way
that makes it seem 
like that's how it's 
supposed to be
It seems almost
magical
Some say it means

You have broken me

You drew me in 
with your humor and charm
and all of a sudden I was head over heels
giggling like a small child
my face turning red and hot 
whenever your name was mentioned

When I was younger
I wanted to be a princess
to wear a tiara 
and a glittering gown

Now I know
I am not destined to be a princess
or wear a tiara
instead I wear a crown 

Now I understand

Standing on a stage
surrounded by friends
brought together by a common interest
Music

Breathing as one
beginning our song
voices raised with a common goal
Music

Bending and swaying
somehow connected

I am the girl
who loves to learn

I am the girl
who sings

I am the girl 
who others spurn

I am a girl
with wings

I am the girl 
who cries in class

I am the girl
who screams

As we are taking our test I look up.
One girl bent over in concentration,
face nearly touching her paper.
Another girl with one hand in her hair,
twisting it into knots and pulling out big clumps.
