THE 'IN' CROWD

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

We’ve followed each other throughout the years
Even though we’ve only really met about a year ago
I was the geek
The shy, timid girl that would never be spoken to
Yet had always dreamed that someday
Things would be better
You were the ‘in’ crowd
People whom I had hoped to be a part of
Someday
Some perfect day…
I came back one day
From a long vacation
Stronger than ever
Leaving the old me behind
I opened up
Spoke my opinion
Fought when you would push me down
You noticed something had changed
Something had happened
Something that you had never seen before
And somebody you had never met
You let me in
Gave me a chance
Laughed with me
Instead of at me
Called me up to talk
Instead of leading pranks
And you showed me what it was like to be like you
To be in the ‘in’ crowd
To be noticed
Then something else happened
Something you weren’t prepared for
Something you had never seen
A young girl
Found
Spreading her wings
Detaching from society
Detaching from life
Becoming the loner
The one who everyone respects
And comes to for guidance
For love
For friendship
And I have found
The beauty of knowing who I really am
The truth of who I will be
And where I’m going
I have found
Happiness.
