The changes were so subtle

So of course no one could see,

For who wishes to observe

Someone falling to misery?

Her grades were slowly dropping.

She no longer seemed to care.

She slowly stopped eating.

But things don't end there.

Deep cuts began appearing

All up and down her arm.

She began to wear long sleeves

So no one saw she was doing harm.

Within a couple months,

She was failing every class.

Her future meant nothing to her

So why bother trying to pass?

She became more than skinny,

A fragile little shell.

No one could possibly understand

Why she was giving herself hell.

And no longer could she hide 

Those scars she left behind.

She created far too many

For others to be unable to find.

And all these people question

These changes that they see.

What made this seemingly happy girl

Alter how she used to be?

But they thought these changes sudden.

But that theory is wrong

Because all of theses changes

Have been there all along.
