Shannon Monroe

A girl.
I met this girl with a beautiful personality, but had a lot to hide.
A girl with compassion.
A girl with sorrow hidden deep into her heart, that only a key can open it.
...

As I step out of the shower,
I hear peoples voices saying, 'What a beautiful girl.'
And as I look into the mirror,
I don't see what other people see.....
...

I never know where I belong,
tThings are not how I've imagined them to be.
I can't sleep and I can't breathe.
Sometimes I just don't want to eat.
...

My farewell is a long one, I just have a lot to say.
Farewell to all of my teachers, you have taught me well.
You have taught me to grow with the world and with society.
You have taught me everything I know, and I say 'Thank you! '
...

He says that he loves me. He says that he wants to be with me forever. But do I believe it? I don't know the answer to this question, but in time I will.

I say that I love him. I say that I want to be with him forever, but does he believe it? I guess that I will never know the answer to this question, but I may already know.
...

I wanna cry, yet I wanna rejoice.

Everytime I see you, you're the burden that weighs upon my heart and soul.
Yet, it's lifted everytime that I am with you.
...

I heard your teardrops hit the floor as you watched me walk away.
It killed me to know that I was the cause.
I should've turned back.
...

On September 11,2001
Smothering black and gray smoke ascended to
The luminous blue sky
Engulfing it until it turned as black as night.
...

To Whom It May Concern,
Love has destroyed a young girl's soul.
Destroyed her life, her feelings
Her very thoughts are negetive, disconcerting and hateful.
...

This season weakens me.
It scorns and laughs at me.
It tears my heart into thousands and millions of pieces.
I can't stand it anymore,
...

How sweet it is to be called a Human Being.
How nice it is to live and love a planet called Earth.
But do people really love it?
In this world, there are so many do's and don'ts.
...

I have had too many fights in my lifetime.
Too many arguments and too many ups and downs.
I have had countless dreams and parent after parent who didn't care about me and let me down.
I have had so many friends and best friends that there is too many to count.
...

Your always putting a smile on this lonely face, everytime I see you.
Your presense is always something that I look forward to.
Your always cheering up this sad and empty heart.
Your the reason why I live; eat, breathe and wake up in the morning.
...

Once I was a little girl wondering about the world, about life and what was in store for me when I was to go to my friend’s house.
But not ling after I turned five, all that changed. I had to leave my childhood behind and grow up. Dying, dying, dying.

I had to become stronger more reliable on myself and nobody to put me down. Dying, dying, dying.
...

People of all ages, listen to my plea and hear my screams.
Hear my cries for help and reach out to help me.
What else must I do to carry out my plea for help?
What must I do to get your attention?
...

As I step onto the scale I wait for it to read my weight.115.
'What am I going to do I am still fat.
My family says that I am pretty but my boyfriend says that I am beautiful.
Which one am me? Pretty or beautiful?
...

I wonder what life would be like if I were something else.
I wonder what I would be and what I would do.
Would I be a dog and be faithful to my owners or would I be neglected
and abused such as when I was a child?
