20 May 2012

She sat in the corner of the room,

Tears falling down her cheeks

And caressing her lips

Her fingers through her hair

Holding on as if it would take her away from there.

The room was dark

The curtains drawn

A mirror had been shattered against the wall.

And there she sat all alone

In a desperation all her own.

At 13 she was pretty and growing

But society had told her she was boring,

She tried to be funny

Society told her she was ugly

And she believed it.

13 pretty and growing,

Now Society's words clouding her world.

Years would go by

Before she finally realised

Society lied.
