Amazement
By colleen
I'm not used to these complements.Not me,The shy and awkward little girlWith the glasses and messy hairWho would always Sit behind the tall kids,In the last row,Lost in the sea of facesMy mind offIn some make- believe world.It's hard to believe That this is meLooking back in the mirror,The swan that is finallyGrown out of her ugly duckling phase.The butterfly breaking freeOf its cocoon,Amazed at her own beauty.It doesn't seem realThat there praises are for me,These job offers are for me.Are the years of waiting and hard work over?Are they finally paying off?I guess I'll just have to Wait and see...
