Analysis of A side story of "The Girl"



A side story of "THE GIRL"

She found herself an extra character of a chapter,
A picture where the appearance is shown in blurr.
No spotlight, just a role of existing in silence
Someone's absence that would bother no one.

Just like an extra role in a classroom to fillup the benches and desks;
Just like an extra character fighting for the king but remains unrecognised;
Or maybe just a messenger to make the two protagonists closer to each other.

But despite all these
She was fun and lost in her own little world
Enjoying every crazy little things
Neither filled up with innocence for sympathy
Nor hatred for destruction;
No complaints for her flaws and imperfections;
Nobody loved her, nobody hated her.
In a peace carrying a side story of her own soul
She was the definition of a main character of her own world!

About this poem

This poem depicts the life a commoner where one remains a side character whose absence bothers no one but ultimately loves being in her own world as a definition of a main character in her own story
