Clumsy Girl Poem by Katherine Pinero

The girl who held her pride high, tripped and fell in love 
Swallowed by her desires and now can't speak of  
Perfection is what she saught, used herself as a tool
Perfection she tries to build, then made herself a fool.

This girl is a warrior with a naked armor 
Go forth to battle trying to be calm and firm,  
Like a tree she is, trying to be tall as she can be 
Strong may it seem but easily blown by the wind. 

I felt sorry for that clumsy girl,  
For that love she believed, she could conquer,
Now the price doesn't seem to be right 
Cause she's down and have given up the fight 
 
Her eyes are wide open but can not see
That there's more to life and be free,  
That this girl should held her pride again!
To conceal her weakness and hide the pain.
