I wrote this in eighth grade, but this is one of my best poems. It's called __The Mask.__

When you look at me, what do you see?

You’d see a girl with really long, brown hair.

What would you see?

You’d see a girl with big, brown eyes.

What would you hear?

You’d hear a girl with a little speech trouble.

What would you see?

A short girl that always seems happy.

Now I have a few questions for you, if you look under the surface…

//What would you really see, or are you unwilling to look?// //What would you have learned if you’ve learned something?// //Will you still like me, or would you despise me?// //Would you feel sorry for me, or would you have the same feelings as before?// //Would you be mad at me, or would you forget about it?// //Would you become my friend, or will you become my enemy?// //Would you hate me, or have compassion for me?// //Would you be ashamed or not? If yes, of what you thought, or what I‘ve done?// //Would you forget about me, or would you always remember me?// //Would you make fun of me, or defend me?// //Would you see the world differently, or would you see the same thing?// //How would you react to what’s underneath the mask that people have placed on me?//
