If you put down your shield To look around You might see what others In you have found The shield that you have Been using as a mask Have you ever taken It off to ask Others who are Like me What it is that We see? I see not just a girl But a young woman Someone who has a lot of people As her biggest fan. You see the world Through a little eye hole Instead of taking off your mask and Viewing the world as a whole You look ahead And think it’s an army you lack You think you’ll be swept away If they attack But if you look behind You will see More people then you have ever Thought there would be We will support you Through thick and thin Through all your good and All your sin |

This is dedicated to u, nadine. figure out what im saying. dont always be so sad
nadine i love you.
awesome poetry, alex!
deaner im trying to say that you should try to be happier. you hide behind your mask but you should break out and look around. people love you for who you are. dont ever change for anyone!
So this is the poem Nadine has been freaking out about. I think it's pretty good, Alex, one of your best, better than the one of "from this young guy who once was broken" which you wrote at the Credo Christmas program instead of listening to the beautiful voiices of the children in the chior.
Nadine: We'll love you no matter who you are. And now you don't have to bring a copy of the poem to Kathryn's on Wednesday next week.
