    Hard to Believe

     Her friends say she's pretty
    Her mom says she's cute
    Her best friend says she's beautiful
    But she finds it unbelievable

    She talks to everyone she sees
    She listens to their problems
    She hands out pieces of herself
    Leaving her heart on the shelf

    No problem to big for her to solve
    No matter what she helps her friends
    No one sees the pain inside
    Pain she always tries to hide

    Everyone tells her she's cool
    Everything she does is for them
    Every once in a while she smiles
    And she feels okay for a while

    She looks at her best friend
    She considers her life
    She thinks about what she loves
    All her blessings from above

    Is that so hard to believe?

    kinda melancholy but at the same time thought provoking.

    That is not hard to believe at all. "She hands out pieces of herself / Leaving her heart on the shelf" All the best poems come from somewhere deep inside, I think.

    Thanks! That was the main idea of the story. :)

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
