She was beautiful.
      She was happy.
      She was a bright prism of colors.
      She was a sizzling firework of surprises.
      She lit up everything she walked past,
      with her bright, dimpled smile.
      They thought she was perfect.
      Until her world came crashing down.
      Suddenly everything she'd ever known,
      Seemed treacherous, unknown and terrifying.
      And she found herself trapped in the suffocating darkness,
      Her days filled with tears, screams, and lost hope.
      And she lost herself.
      
      The Girl.
