A paradoxical name

For someone way too tame

To criticize;

A face schooled into a rock

With a mind under lock

To keep all to herself.


Quiet and distant,

She's the prey in every hunt

- unable to fight things off.

A ghostlike shadow in the room,

Seemingly made to mindlessly loom

Around. The joy in her's concealed.
