The story of a girl in silence |
| Auburn waves drape over bruised ivory shoulders Dark secrets hidden behind emerald eyes Cries for help buried under coerced laughter A scared child assuming the position of a brave adult Makeup, and sleeves hiding many nights of pain Pillows, soaking up a rapid tide of nightly tears Falsified rays of hope, bringing her to silence On this silence she chokes and breaks Though as she was always taught She leaves as she lived, without being noticed |
