To be me
 

You don't know what it's like
To always feel ugly
To have boys shutter
At the sound of your name
To think you'll never be loved
Never know a man's touch
You don't know what it's like
To see others find love
To want that companionship
To be afraid of affection
To be sweet sixteen
And never have been kissed
You don't know what it's like
To wonder if you'll be alone
For the rest of your life
Or if you'll be unhappy
Never finding your true love
Always looking toward the horizon
You don't know what it's like
To always be in the background
To feel like a sidekick
To think you have to be crazy
Just to be noticed
You don't know what it's like
To be me

I remember that perspective, only from a males side. I can understand most of those feelings. Good use of the semi-repition in your "to" statements. Awesome job.

A very powerful piece of work.
Thank you for sharing such a personal perspective.

hey chica,
just wanted to let you know that you are not a side kick, and sometimes its not good to be crazy. you are noticed and we all do love you we just have different ways of showing. you will find someone and i think you know where to look. very good work by the way. and boys dont shudder at your name because they dont like it , but because they know you can beat them up with any choice wrestling moves you have. =)
