Student Poetry: She Was Like the Sun

She was like the sun

By Tori Jordan, 9th Grade

She was like the sun.                                                                                                                                                         Beautiful and bright, but if you looked                                          

                                for too long you couldn’t see her anymore.

She was like the wind; setting sails and breaking branches.

She was like the rain

                               after a drought but the fear of getting wet.

She was a girl who got told

                                the only way to find love was to look the part.

Flaws could only exist internally.

Though her mind was a book full of wonders and love,

                                   they judged her by the cover.
