The
Girl
Who
Didn't
by Paloma Gaskin

Is a beautiful melancholy introspective must read
of the author's inner child’s (girl’s) heart and soul
accompanied by her own lovely heartfelt art/illustrations.
The epilogue is pure Awesomeness and profound joy-
bringing an even deeper understanding of her poem.

Paloma's words brought tears, smiles and
the gentle reminder of a girl long forgotten,
yet whose memories vividly remain: and I
found myself wanting to hug the girl who didn't...
For her soulful reflections mirrored unspoken
emotions of times in which I didn’t and I felt a
kindred spirit to this girl ...who didn’t- only did in all
she overcame and still overcomes in this ever evolving
journey called life. -Lynn Long

Excerpt of words felt deep within the soul
First Breath
The girl who didn't
know she was enough,
from the moment
she took her first breath,
to when others were not
behaving their best with her,
was the one
who hurt herself.
