Faded

She is just a young girl,
Fragile and innocent.
She stares in the mirror, wishing she was beautiful.

She doesn’t see the light that’s shining,
She pulls down her sleeves, attempting to cover up her pain.
Constantly craving to cut her traumas away.
Wishing tomorrow will be the last day, her wish finally fulfilled-to fade away…
