It’s almost been a year since I’ve dating anyone because of the past heart break and pain my last love caused. Well today I tried to get myself off my ass and drag myself into the dating scene once again. Chris, an 8th grader who rides my bus, has been my friend since the 7th grade and he lives up the street from me. I feel so stupid. I asked him if he wanted a girlfriend. He does. He wants it to be me. I want it to be me, but am I ready?

I wrote a poem an finally realized what I feel.

The Little Girl I Used To Be

That little girl I used to be,
Now a voice that talks to me.
She writes me notes and lets me know,
It’s okay to let my real side show.
I write her back and always say,
I can’t go back and be that way.
She asks if I remember when,
I hid her, buried her, kept her in.
That little girl inside of me,
Tries to come and set me free.
I should let her in, I feel so incomplete,
Yes, it’s time for us again to meet.

Is it good?? Please tell me the truth.
