Jane

Girl in the corner
won't you come over
and say hello
"No" she responds
with her arms crossed
A nervous cough
a slight toss of the hair
Aware that she is unsure
She tries to ignore everyone around her
Believing they won't allow her to be herself
She doesn't want your help
She's the do it yourself type
Too much pride
Often mistaken for confidence
This fence she's built around her
It's tense as they surround her
and try to break it down
She screams out
"You'll never get inside"
As she hides her true colors
Worried they'll discover her imperfections
So for protection of her heart
She stands guard at all times
Stays clear of closed minds
and people that will judge her
Will anyone learn to love her; she wonders
For now she returns to her corner
though she'd like to come over
and introduce herself
She can tell once you know her.....
you won't stay for long.
