Just A Girl

There's a girl.

No one special or famous for that matter.

She's as you say average.

She is just a girl.

But their is something about her.

This girl has Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

She doesn't want special treatment from her family.

She didn't get it before they knew.

So why start now, she asks.

They have always looked at her with pitty.

But now it's a different type of pitty.

This girl could use some words of advice.

This girl is me.
