Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

Step Aside

I’m not the girl that I used be

Why do you look at me like that?
Where is that sparkle in your eyes?
Do you not find me attractive? 
I’m still here 
Right here 
I’m still the same inside
If you can't see that
You might as well step aside

Emile Pinet April 3, 2017 at 11:55 AM Your poem cuts through the wounds we wear as mementos and asks us to shuck this pain and forge on with life. Emile.

Chris Green April 3, 2017 at 6:11 AM That's telling them, I am still me, no matter what you see. Just be yourself my friend, you are beautiful just the way you are.
