Another Perspective

Alone in a corner in a class full of one race
Is a unique girl different from the rest
She thought all of them were nice
But she thought she was an outcast.

She couldn't speak their tongue well
For it was not her mother tongue they spoke
A novice when it comes to friendship,oh well
Friendship connections are hard to make.

Beginning to lose hope and feeling alone
She asks for help from a consultant
Ashamed she was but proud she became, 
She faced her worries, feeling independent.

Now, she sees things differently
Now, she believes in herself completely.

I am so glad that she sees herself differently, and that she believes in herself. Have a nice day my friend.
