Bouncing curls, rosy smiles, and careless thoughts
She dreamt in peace, free of the worries that the future brought
Her eyes shone with the light of a softened reality, untouched by hate and fear
Her innocence not yet tarnished by the grime of society
A mind of pure ignorance, beautiful but so temporary
Black eyes, bruised skin, and endless woes,
Her dreams of being a princess now a satire, the pressure on her shoulders laid her low
The once irrelevant comments now grate at the edges of her mind,
Scornful opinions the knife at her throat, nagging voices the blade at her wrist
She used to daydream, now her life is an endless nightmare
Her fears have become reality, each day a living hell
An existence of unadulterated suffering, hideous but so temporary
Life, beautiful, terrible, and confusing
But so temporary.
