Box
There was a young girl, who
was often put in many boxes.
She was put into a box by
family members. Because she
was a bit shy and awkward.
Resulting in the box of feeling
like an outcast. Life was hard
and she got treated differently
because she wasn’t pretty
enough or thin enough.
Resulting in a box of low
self-esteem.
When she went to school she
got put into another box. And
she had trouble focusing and
paying attention. Going to
school was so much of a
struggle that she would
often daydream. Her box
was her mind, due to the
fact that she didn’t learn
like other people.
When she would write she would
often leave out words. She felt
so dumb. Years later she found
out that she had a learning
disability. What saved her is she
could always write a good story.
Although it was not grammatically
correct.
Her life changed when she found
writing. That girl started to believe
in herself more. Although she
continues to struggle with how
she learns that young lady will
not be confined to any box.
She will break down any box
that she finds herself in.
Whether it’s feeling like an
outcast, having low esteem,
or feeling dumb. Feeling in-
competent originated In
her mind.
