She was full of life
Cheery in everything she did
Living up to her name
For all to see
People said that must be hard
She's so sheltered
Really she was just misunderstood
And constantly judged
She had her standards
And would never waver
Even when challenged
Her answer was the same
She would not drink,
nor smoke
She would not watch R movies,
and yes she had kept her chastity
She never touched coffee
or caffeine drinks
She ate Chocolate
But, that wasn't the same
She will persevere
through thick and thin
Like a word on a page
passing through time.
She stands for the symbol of Purity.

Actually it is kinda nice to read something soft & sweet. Purity , perhaps a lost treasure in todays world

LOVE IT
i absolutely love this
i like the way that she's putting her foot down and not allowing others to influence her
good luck -
A fine piece, you have given us her emotions and how she views the world, a hard thing for a person to live up to with those ideals but I applaud a person for being able to do that. Thank you for a great entry.

Such resolution is admirable,
Some think it hard to keep such virtues. It is not if you don't waver. Well written poem of purity of soul. The world needs more such to balance the darkness slowly overwhelming the world.

Well done! You have personified her as a symbol of purity without stating exactly who she is. This is great and makes one think. Makes me think I wish I was that good.
Love,
Amera ♥

she is not just a name but the personification. Truthfully this is nicely subtle. perhaps last line to keep her humanity should be she is a stand for the symbol of purity. I don't know. Last two lines feel forced while the rest flows so nicely. Yes this is personification Virginia.
Love, Tom B.
