Quiet Girl


Once she enters the school building its like the air has choked her letting her voice disappear. She is a turtle under a hallow shell who doesn't let her brightness shine through. But her intelligence does glow bright making her known for being smart. During lunch she eats in silence and awaits the bell to dismiss her from her agony. Such loneliness and pain she has for shutting herself from the world. She's so much more than smart, but is to afraid to show that. Finally the bell to go home has rung and her soul lightens up. She approaches her home and tears the suffocating plastic wrap to reveal her true self and be free of judgment.
