Her mind was open,

Like the sea and the sky above.

Except her mouth remained sealed,

For she was scared if she were to speak,

All would figure it out and know.

Her face was a mask,

Well crafted and easily breakable.

Except no one knew it,

For she was always smiling and laughing,

So the tears would not flow.

Her body was hidden,

Beneath baggy sweaters and long sleeves,

To cover the cuts and bruises

That it consumed every night.

Not a single soul saw them grow.

Her soul is floating above the clouds,

While her body lay cold six feet under.

Her heart no longer beating,

And her blood splattered across the floor,

The girl you once knew is no longer aglow.
