There lived a girl,

Possessed of magnificent looks

But none knew her mind,

That fear overtook


She was a product of ignorance and harsh words

Just with some attention,

Her state could have been deterred


The dark violet eyes of hers,

 Were empty inside

The shadows underneath them,

 Contradicted her fake smiles


The smooth voice coming out of her rosy lips,

Spoke lies, 

That hurt her like a whip


Most didn't notice the girl,

Who acted so feign

And those who did,

Couldn't bother to complain


Honesty was a word for her that didn't exist

All the warnings given by her mind,

Were hastily dismissed


So it moulded itself,

Into a vessel of clashing voices

About how to act the best,

It gave her plenty of choices


Was she speaking the words that others wanted to hear?

Was she dressed the way they would like her to appear?


Such questions plagued her dying spirit,

When thinking about herself,

She was a cruel critic


How would you escape the society,

To which she had to adapt,

Along with the damaged mind,

That in itself was so trapped?


-Grisha. S
