As I walk into my new school



everyone stops and steras at me.



I want them to stop.




I can hear them telling their friends



how ugly I look. But I cant help that



I live in a homeless shelter.




As I walk to the shelter it starts



to rain,and I start to cry. I have seen




the rain cry out in pain,and the rain



has seen it in me.
