10.<br /> I am a princess, all girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren&#039;t pretty or smart or young. They&#039;re still princesses, all of us.&quot; -Frances Hodgeson Burnett, A Little Princess<br /> or<br /> 1.<br /> Live in the present, remember the past and fear not the future, for it doesn&#039;t exist and never shall. There is only now.&quot; _Christopher Paolini, Eldest


We met and you tried to woo me
You were different but I didn’t want that
I thought I did, but it wasn’t me

I refused you
So you took me away
You made me say things that weren’t true

I claimed to hate you
You said that would change
You didn’t have a clue

The unexpected happened
My views were smartened
I fell in love with you
The problem is, I know it’s true

Love is so new
It’s hard to hide true love
Why did it have to be you?

I need a medication
I am lovesick
Look at my coloration

I’m trapped and I can’t get loose
I don’t even know if I want to
I’ve been thinking about calling a truce

The unexpected happened
All my senses sharpened
I agreed to marry you
And my parents don’t have a clue

I disappeared for you
A year later, I show up at my parents’
A vase at you they threw


They knew you’re bad
They couldn’t accept it
I sure feel sorry for my dad

They hated you more than I ever did
They thought I was too young for marriage
They treated me like a kid

The unexpected happened
Up they shapened
They let the wedding go on
I sure won

The unexpected happened
Our love fastened
I became like you
Now THAT was new!


The author's comments:
I wrote this poem from the eyes of a character in a book I was writing to better know her but it has other meanings like that people could be different than you thought and, if you just give them a chance, they can be really great. Oh! And to keep your mind open.
