A/N- Well this is just a short poem I wrote, from Mayella's point of view. It's supposed to be describing what he life might be like. Feedback is encouraged! Please let me know how I did...this is for school!
I Am Mayella Ewell
By: Marie (you're not getting my last name)
A short poem describing what I think of Mayella's life.
I am troubled and I am alone.
I wonder why I am beat and uncared for.
I hear my screams piercing through the house as he hits me.
I see myself neglected and so badly hurt.
I want to be loved and cared for.
I am troubled and I am alone.
I
pretend that
I have
a friend.
I
feel confused
and hurt
because I
know it's
not true.
I
touch the
injuries as
I silently
shed a
tear.
I
worry that
someone will
know the
truth, and
he'll hurt
me even
worse.
I
cry at
night by
myself when
I am
sure no
one can
hear me.
I
am troubled
and I
am alone.
I
understand that
he's a
drunk.
I
say he
knows what
he's doing.
I
dream that
someone will
accept me.
I
try to
make my
life seem
normal.
I
hope that
one day
my dreams
will come
true.
I
am troubled
and I
am alone.
I am Mayella Ewell.
A/N - So, how was it ?
Oh, and for any of you reading my Twilight Fan Fic, I apologize for not updating. I have most of the chapter typed, but I need to check a few things in Eclipse, which is kind of hard since my book has been gone (being borrowed) since AUGUST 10! THREE DAYS AFTER IT CAME OUT! As you can tell, I'm not very happy. Anywhoo, I should be getting it back within the next two weeks, and you all will be getting maybe two or three chapters worth of writing!
ANYWAYS...please review and tell me how you like this poem! I have to turn it at school for a grade :( (Grr...I don't like school...)
Oh, and sorry for the long author's note!
Thanks!
