"Sara's Story"

Sara
Antonia Middle School
Jefferson County, MO

You read the cover
and turn the page
You stop reading
Then, you judge me
You read the cover, not my story 

I know my flaws
more than you will ever know
Yet you think you know it all
You read the cover, not my story 

I’m not going to tell you what it says
You’re the one who has to read the book
It’s not my fault you got me wrong
It’s your responsibility to get to know me
Your choice 

Chapter after chapter, my story is not over
Maybe if you read it
You’ll understand
You read the cover, not my story
