Best Poem

“I Fell in Love with a Girl”

By Jacquelyn

Desciption of Submission: “Poem that depicts a variety of woman who have left impacts on me in various different ways.” –Jacquelyn

Why Karen and Melody Liked It: It was great poem showing the love of different woman in the person's live from mother, bestfriend, teacher to finally the partner.

I fell in love with a girl

On the very day I was born

She was the one that gave me life

And continues to keep me warm

I fell in love with a girl

During the middle of grade two

She still is my best friend

For her, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

I fell in love with a girl

She taught my 9^th grade class

She pushed me to do better

I discovered I could do any task

I fell in love with a girl

This time, in a different way

The way she made me feel about myself

I realized I was gay

I fell in a love with a girl

Who wasn’t right for me at all

But I took the risk and made the jump

I wasn’t afraid to fall

I am in love with a girl

She drives me absolutely crazy

Each day grows better and better

She is simply amazing

I still love all these women

They’ve shaped me into who I am today

Each of them holds a place in my heart

Where they will all forever stay.
