I am

I am a wounded girl
No, I am not a rebel like those who chose to express anger over sorrow;
nor am I one of those "victims" who gave up on thier dreams.
I am a girl of worth,
of heart and soul,
of meaning and purpose-
and my heart may have grown three times bigger after it was broken.
I am experienced,
understand, because I have experienced more trauma than most at my age.
Like the caterpillar whose cacoon hatched too early,
it is as though I was thrown into a grown up world that I wasn't yet prepared for.
I am a wounded girl,
but my spirit is not broken.

Mrs. Elliott asked us to write a poem using the same syntax and structure as a sample piece we were given. This was my poem. :]

Happiness

I feel Jane Eyre takes a lot after the concept of "It's not where you are, it's who you're with." The materials don't matter, but the company does. Obviously high class is strived for no matter who you are but it doesn't come in a package with happiness. Then we can ask ourselves what is happiness exactly?

What is happiness to Jane isn't necessarily happiness to me. So, can two people really ever be content at the same time or do we give something up to act as though we are content with others?
