The smile on her face is almost as broken as their love

She counts the tears streaming down her beautiful face

She knows with one last look in the mirror

Alexis Manning is a freshman at Pilgrim High. Her grandmother, Jodie Sutphen, submitted hr poem to the paper. In her words, “Through her words I believe she has touched on the unspoken feelings of most girls in her age category. It is my belief that any girls reading the poem will know they are not alone as they transition from girls to teenagers.”

    What a very nice poem. Good to see kids being able to express themselves in deep and meaningful ways.
