Becoming me

I can remember last year's prom

The theme was fire and Ice

I've grown up a bit since then

Been beaten down several times

I've had my heart broken by someone

Who didn't make any sense to me

And then I had it stolen

Everyone saw it coming

I've decided something big

And done a lot of small things

Got in a lot of trouble 

Was a little less than friendly

Made it to state Cross Country

In placings we fell short

We almost made the state tournament

But choked up on that basketball court

I've seen all my friends 

At the literal rock bottom

And I've always stuck it out

Because they know that I love 'em

I've been stepped all over

But I'm gonna tell you, I don't mind

Because they know when they need me

I'm here, every time

I've taken the ACT

Though I'm still awaiting my score

I've been bloodied, battered, beaten

And bitchy to the core

But I've been kind when I can manage

And caring when need be

But most of all since then

I've been becoming me

So last night was my second prom

And it was nothing like the last

But in a way it was the same

And it went by too fast

I know this time next year

I'll sound a lot the same

But hopefully my story 

Will have a different name

So I'll go on changing

And being what I need to be

Just sit back and watch 

As I'm becoming me!

I absolutely love this poem, Annabelle.
I enjoy reading poetry that deals with a writer finding out who they truly are.
I went to my very first Prom March the 29th. It was so much fun to me. It was such a fun experience, too.
It is an experience that every girl will remember. Our theme was similar to the Great Gatsby; simple but yet elegant. I have taken the ACT twice now. When will you receive your score? I know that it takes from anywhere from three weeks to eight. When you find out, please message me. I will share my scores with you too. I have fallen in love and I have been hurt way too many times before too. It sucks but you will find someone that will treat you how you should be treated. I am too nice and I am easily walked all over too. I have been trying to change that though. I know that you will become someone successful and talented. Keep up the great writing! :)

Thanks a whole bunch! score could come this week or in the next two.... the anticipation is killing me

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

Yeah I know how you feel. I have to wait on my scores now. We took the ACT at school for free. It was with the plus writing part too. But you are very welcome. Anytime :)

To be young again is to soar on wings of eagles and not give a damn about it...lol.

Everything changes and you're changing along with it. Sounds to me you've made great strides in becoming who you want to be.

Annabelle. You're going to go places and make it happen. I can tell.
