Melinda Bond Poet I do not know?

Meet Emma

This is Emma she is seven years old she is not like all the other girls that

she knows when they were all busy playing horses she was busy playing 

with her two brothers, and when they would laugh and say Emma why

are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this way.

This is Emma she is ten years old she is not like all the other girls that

she knows when they were all busy wearing dresses she was busy 

playing detective, and when they would laugh and say Emma why

are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was 

born this way im not going to change. This is Emma she is thirteen

years old she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were

all busy trying to fit in with the crowd she was proud to stand out  and when

look at them and proudly say I was born this way im not going to change

im not looking for your approvel any way. This is Emma she is

sixteen years she is not like all the other girls that she knows when

they were all worried about prom she was writing poems all alone

in her room. And when they would laugh and say Emma why are you

so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this

way im not going to change im not looking for your approvel any

way it is ok to be strange, This is Emma she is eighteen years
