My Mind: the Way I See Things Sarah Pooley

"My Mind" is about a young girl whose life was tormented by bullies as she grew up. She fought with depression, fear, loneliness and abuse. She had to change her life. Then she was given the chance to travel to Australia, where she became a confident young lady. Then she finds love. She writes how she sees things and how sometimes it looks like it doesn't make sense . . . It makes you think about the meaning behind the words. Every poem will have meaning to the reader that stirs a memory in their lives. The glimpse of the book they will read Walking As I walk along the street I see others walk by I try to think how they would see me Through their eyes I'd imagine I was them Passing me by To wonder what they were thinking Would they notice me? If I shouted at the top of my lungs As loud as I possibly could Would they stop and stare? I don't want to be noticed By passers by If I have to shout and scream to be seen So As I walk along the street I smile and walk on by.
