AT ODDS WITH IT ALL

'Growing'  by  Trish

They say I'm a little cutie

With a degree of beauty.

But something isn't right
I can't sleep at night.

My family say I'm crazy,
So does my best friend,

When I turn up at her door,

She says 'not you again.'

How to explain this distress?

That's making, my head a mess!

My friend gave me a book today,

It's titled, 'Smile Your Worries Away'.

I thanked her for her kindness to me,

Said, I hoped we'd remain, close as can be.

The books cover matches the color of my bedspread,

But has done absolutely nothing, for my  head.
