Girl at the Turnpike

Everybody has problems. But the moment we realize ours isn't as big as we thought, Life gets much more simple.

    

I opened my eyes,

to honking horns, hooey noise.

Oh the Turnpike!

Amassing Cars and bike.

“Life is a bore,

Nothing to adore.”

"Ice cream?""No."

" Candy?""No."

"I want another Barbie."

My dad wasn't so happy.

Suddenly,

There was a face,

hidden beneath the smoke and the dirt,

with a fixed gaze.

Penetrated through my flesh and heart.

She raised a popcorn pack,

I felt like saying ,"Yes."

Falling coins touched and clinked.

There was a smile I have never seen.

Happy or sad?

Confusing.

Car moved in a slow pace,

So did the face.

But the gaze was still on me.

I- the girl she would happily be.

It was like somebody poured a pile of rainbow,

 My life seemed colorful now! How?

This is a cute poem. Nice choice of words. But as you wished in your note above, I will try my best to help.
There are some slips I see in the following lines:

My dad's wasn't so happy-----My dad WASN'T...
Penetrated though my flesh and heart---- Penetrated THROUGH...
Me- the girl she would happily be.-----I, the girl...

I hope those can help you. Keep writing!

Thank you..
I kept changing the words I first wrote my dad's expression then forgot to change it...
Second typo and third one - my bad.
Thank you so much for your help :)

I like the story this tells, and the "grass is always greener" message. Good write!
