Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Every unkind act strips away a bit of self-esteem

Melting Away

by Leann DS

Peering out from my hiding place,
The smell of humiliation in the air,
I watched the boy in the green shirt,
Shivering in the mud,
Confidence melting away
Like my untouched ice cream cone
Dripping onto the pavement.
