I Saw You.

I saw you there.....at the sports carnival....
Heard the kids shouting at you "Run! Run will ya!"
And your reply........"I AM running!"
I saw the way you sat with your head down, your cheeks burning furiously.
I know that you wanted the earth to swallow you up at that moment.
I know how you felt, and how you feel.
Different.
Awkward.
Clumsy in your changed and ever changing body.
So much more developed than the other girls your age.
You're not "cool".....not "pretty enough" to belong in the "popular" group.
You don't seem to fit in anywhere.
You fear the awful blushing attacks, lack the words and the courage to express yourself and stand up to "them".
I wish that I could tell you that this WILL pass.......that someday you WILL find the words to express yourself.
You WILL stand up for yourself.
I know you will.
And maybe , one day, you will find yourself walking among "them" wondering what they actually THINK about.......if they even "think" at all, or just worry that their panty line is showing, and who next to tell that juicy bit of gossip to.
I saw you there, after school, while all the other kids were playing, or standing round in their oh so "popular" groups talking about "oh so cool" things....
You were sitting , alone....with a book.
There between the lines.
Within the words.
The possibility of escape.
