(Just because),
She doesn’t talk much,
Everyone decides
She has nothing to say,
(Just because),
She looks happy,
Doesn’t mean she is,
Crying out for help on
The inside where no one can see,
She wants to be heard,
But she doesn’t know how
To reach out to them,
(Just Because),
She speaks doesn’t mean they listen,
She’s not ignored they just don’t understand,
That she’s reaching out for them,
When she needs them most,
She doesn’t have to be
The centre of attention,
She just needs someone,
Who knows what she’s not saying.

Veryy nice. Its wierd when you go to school and you look at someone. Not the sterotype look but when days past you get to know someone and not even a words said. You delived this poem very strongly show that going beyond what you see that matters.

"She doesn’t have to be
The centre of attention,
She just needs someone,
Who knows what she’s not saying." these lines relate to me so well and so do the rest! its well set out and the wording and flow is excellent well done

Like this too, it was very sad at the same time and I can relate , I hope if you were not talking about of yourself…
And congrats on the Silver Trophy you’ve won
My favorite Stanza (like this it was very strong powerful)
“She doesn’t have to be
The centre of attention,
SHE JUST NEEDS SOMEONE,
WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE’S NOT SAYING.”
If you replace ‘she’ with ‘he’ it would be like as if you were speaking about me …
Have a nice day dear
