Poetry of Sorts

Don't mind me.
I'm just the girl sitting in the corner, pretending to be a snorkeling giraffe.
A whale shark gently floating through pitch black space.
A monkey CEO in a Gucci suit entering a ritzy office building.
Don't mind me.
I'm just the girl sitting in the corner, thinking about the state spelling bee.
Thinking about camping in a backyard, under the smoggy stars.
Thinking about Times Square lights, people, and streets.
Don't mind me.
I'm just the girl sitting in the corner, silently stewing because someone just hit her in the head with a locker door.
Feeling anxious and hopeful for high school and the rest of her life.
Feeling jealous, because she is always left on the opposite side of the room. The less populated side.
Don't mind me.
I'm just a little girl in a big world.
So...
Don't mind me.
