Lovely Little Girl

You see a lovely, little girl.
She is quiet only speaking
when completely necessary.
She doesn't walk, she
runs to her next class.
Her short hair says,
'I am a lesbian'.
You assume she
doesn't hear your lies.
Her pink checks say,
'I am embarrassed'.
But in truth it's
the anger she can't hide.
You see this little wisp
and take note of each
misstep.
Not seeing the work she
puts in each morning
to be perfect.
Not caring about
the bitten lips.
Weak she may appear
but that is a lie.
She knows her battles,
picking them well.
No marks on her arms,
that would be a give away.
No tear tracks on her face,
for that would show it.
All you see is
a quiet bookish girl.
But in truth she is
a Dark One.
Her soul is broken,
blacked with your blood.
