Broken but bold enough to bounce back

There was a time I didn’t know my worth.
I didn’t know my purpose.,
I’d felt that way since birth.

I would talk to other girls at school,
but when they formed their cliques,
they did not find me “cool.”

Not cool enough to be part of their group.
I was just their sidekick who
got left out of the loop.

Broken, I was losing my strong will,
but neither was I the type 
who could just stand still.

I looked for others like myself; boldly
I bounced back, giddy, in junior high school, 
where I formed bonds of gold.
