Allison McDowell Poems

It is lying so quietly
on the desk.
No one really pays attention
to it
...

I knew you were different
and I knew this was real
by the touch of your hand
and the way it made me feel
...

She's not that girl with the very best clothes
she's not that girl that everyone knows
no, she's not that girl
she's not that girl
...

I looked for somekind
of direction to go
when I felt lost
my inner-person didn't show
...

When your day's not going like you want it to
When people just won't listen to you
When your head feels like it's going to explode
Just remember to stay in a calm mode
...

Popularity isn't everything
it's just what people want
all the boys; all the perks
a life that they can flaunt
...

Wonderful, Beautiful
those are all the words they describe me
but what if I don't do it right
but what if I don't make it
...
