What's in a name? King For A Couple Of Days

| October 26th, 2006 at 09:30am Skateboard Princess
She isn’t a typical little girl,
No ordinary princess.
You could tell.
The asphalt has kissed her knees
Almost white.
Skirts aren’t part of her world
And
Pink simply doesn’t exist
In her vocabulary.
Only eight summers young,
Isn’t really much time.
But quite a while
When growing up in the concrete jungle,
Where anonymity
Becomes part of the identity
But
Still every word is weighted,
All features judged.
One year and a mohawk
Defined the difference
Between her and the best friend
A skater girl can wish for.
Though things like that don’t matter
When you both fly down streets
and avenues through traffic.
Late for school.
Again.
The world around them
Wish to tear them apart.
So young and already labelled
Trouble
A punk and a tomboy
When
All they really are
Is best friends.
But for now they can be together
That girl who wrinkles her nose
At the ballet and Barbie doll life
And the boy who dares to cry.
And for now she can be
Nothing less than she is
A skateboard princess
So, what do you think?  |

Um, could I get a grammar correction perhaps? (It sucks not to have English as my first language  ) |

There's not too many corrections to be made; just very simple errors, and nothing which impacts on the poem significantly. |

And thanks I guess even if you didn’t really compliment or anything.
Thank you beans (I’m sorry if I’ve been mean to you btw but you got on my nerves too many times. I apologize and maybe we could get along from now one?) |
