That Girl
May 20, 2015
She was the girl people wanted to be.
She was the sun who brightened up the room.
Her true self was very hard to see.
No one saw how she hid her gloom.
At thirteen she got a job to help pay,
for the clothes she used to cover the truth.
She walked to work after school every day.
She worked hard like a horse all through her youth.
Once, she decided to take of her mask.
She realized her fake friends weren't worth a dime.
“Is this a joke?” people decided to ask.
The truth was uncovered in little time.
The rumors started to run around school.
No one was impressed when she tried her best.
She wondered why people thought she was a fool.
One day she chose to put herself to rest.
