Play with fire alone, get burned. Play with fire around others, get burned down.


Two completely different girls,
Two completely different worlds.
The first rich and rebellious,
The other poor and an achiever.

But through the help of school,
They must help each other,
And be true to themselves.
But when the ones life unravels,
She has the other to lean on.

Two completely different girls,
Two completely different worlds.
Have a more in common than they think.
And by the end,
They teach each other a lesson,
And they discover themselves.

The lesson is not on History, nor Algebra.
Not a lesson on how to act "cool" or "normal".
It's a lesson of not to judge others,
Because, honestly, how does on define "normal"?

The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by the book Define "Normal" by Julie Ann Peters.
