I wrote this back in 2004 as a final for my English class. I had also taken the time to use a typewriter to add a feel of old and worndown by time. Hence, why I have posted the poem in "Courier New". It tells a small story line of my life. Not all of us can share our past without fears of being judged. I had a old friend, (sweet girl), use it as inspiration about a story about a girl, then it was changed to a girl whom had a mother who had a fling while in Africa. I really hope that I got/get some kind of credit. If not, that's truly a shame, to use someone's work without crediting them. To me that's thieft.
