11.

Here's a silly story,
a story of a star.
Though she shines the brightest,
she's not really that smart.

She thought she knew things,
thought her judgements were accurate.
But little did she know,
she barely scratched the surface.

Being the brightest,
taught her to be confident.
In herself,
and with herself.

Yet her personalities were disliked,
"your attitude sucks"
" you're bossy"
" a half-fucked"

Things not said to her,
things she haven't yet know.
She knows it now,
and it surprises her.

How, in actuality,
some of the stars felt.
How, in reality,
most of her friends were happy and proud.

Though some may express their dislikes,
The remaining were,
proud of how she overcame her struggles,
how she builds herself from scratch.

It's funny how ..
People hide behind the masks.
Say hurtful things,
yet meant the other.

Their words were prickly and hurtful,
their intentions seemed bad.
But let's not forget,
for everyone has their own story to tell.

For all wounds will heal,
and maybe scars will remain.
Yet, let's not forget.
The precious lessons that were taught.

Forgive, but not forget.
