The Girl


There once was a girl who lived under the shadows She thought no one cared for her mind Her life could not be complete by mere meadows During happy and graceful events she lagged behind She could see right through her classmate’s masks And didn’t care much for flowers She lived for unhappy tasks Because she felt they gave her power In other's minds this poem's an example Of exactly what she had become Her many achievements strewn on the mantle But this was her greatest one She hopes this poem has captured her strife For tomorrow she plans to end her life

no no no i am no longer "The Girl" i just merely find it one of my most powerful poems. Originally written 4 years ago, but thank you for caring, there are too many people that dont anymore.
