That Girl Poem by Rose Marie Cook

That Girl



I'm just like that girl
Who's all stitched up

The one you see
But never know

The girl who cries
But smiles and laughs

Who promises one thing
But does the next

Who you can tell anything to
Her lips will stay stitched

The girl where you want
To deny the bad

To think only good things
When you can't change them anyways

The girl some are jealous of
But don't know the story

The one they envy
Before the find the facts

I'm exactly like that girl
That's the story of my life

Dream all the time
Write about suicide

The one people like
The one people trust

They can't think to see
Underneath all the fake

If they truly knew me
They wouldn't be jealous

They wouldn't trust me
If they got to know me

But if they looked within my eyes
Maybe they would believe

Maybe they would know
What I've been through and move on

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Ravi A 26 August 2009

Nobody can know about a person in a fuller manner however they look at the eyes or waist. So, we need not expect an endorsement from the world for our nature and character. Just stay as we are and the world will come to know about our honesty, trustworthiness. Our deeds matter. Our reciprocation matters. We expect the world to identify us but how far have we identified this world? Have we gone into the hearts of others? 'Dream all the time Write about suicide'...this is not a good tendency, especially for a poet who should otherwise give a positive message to the world. Brooding within is not a good quality. Thanks.
