Her hair
Black as a raven
Shorter than deemed reasonable
For a girl

Blank
Her eyes
Greyer than a rain cloud
For someone so young

You wouldn't recognise her

She was the girl
You sat next to in first period
The one who got A's
And let you copy her notes

She was the girl
Who wasn't afraid to comfort
Picked others up
And loved to smile

You wouldn't recognise her

Once flowing hair
As golden as the sun
Once sparkling eyes
Pure as shining silver

You wouldn't recognise her
She finally decided
To let her darkness show

She had helped so many
That nobody thought
To help her

But now
You wouldn't know it was her
