The Girl On The Outside Poem by Katie Burak

The Girl On The Outside

The girl on the outside can't understand
Why she hates her world
Is it because of false hope?

Is it because of her teachers who lie and make it sound like it's all ok?
Is is because of people who won't stop acting intelligent?



The girl on the outside is separate from the rest of her world. She has no idea of how to get inside. No idea of what the inside people want or even expect.

She is slowly growing to hate the inside people as a whole. Vile beings they are!


She doesn't want to hate them.
She really doesn't.
She doesn't know what to say to the inside people.


The girl on the outside wants to be on the inside, but is slowly drawing away from that idea. She is planning on staying in the outside in her personal world.


Sometimes the girl on the outside thinks the inside people are plotting against her.
What does she do? One minute they are by her side, and they turn their backs and make up lies and whisper about her.


The evil three make her feel happy in school, but when she gets home, they tell her mother about her doing false things and make her sound like an abomination. Do they hate her presence? Why are they like that?


The girl on the outside retreats to her room, the only place she cannot be judged by any other soul.



But...............
Who is the girl on the outside?



I am the girl on the outside. I don't know what the inside people want or even if any of them truly like me.



I can only relate to children. I need to get away from the non-children inside people.
