  I don't own this book and I don't own the characters.   

How i'm a total 

                     wreck. Afraid to

let anyone near. 

                     Afraid the'll see

 the real me, not 

                    Kaeleigh at all. 

I do have friends 

                   but they don't know

me, only someone 

                   I've created to take 

my place. Someone 

                  sculpted from ice. 

I keep the melted 

                 me bottle up

inside. Where no 

                  one can touch her, 

until, unbidden, she 

                 comes pouring out.

She puddles then, 

                upon tear trodden 

ground. I am always

              afraid, and i am vague

about why. My life

             isn't so awful. Is it?
