THE GIRL I SAW


They said she's bold, indomitable and strong. They said she's perfect, with no exception. But I saw something dissimilar, weird and scary. I saw a heart yearning for love, a soul yearning for help. I saw an image striving, to dive away from her terrifying past. I saw an object, screaming to be freed. I saw more than the mask you wore, I saw a heart locked in the hole.
