She

One girl, me

That girl in the back of the class, the one you don't notice, and the one that avoids talking. She wears her grey hoodie everyday, she never smiles, never shows emotion. They only see what she shows, which is her shield of protection. She doesn't give much, doesn't want much, all she wants is love. No one will love her tonight, not tomorrow either. The darkness that surrounds her is her life, she breathes only her lies, that cover her scars. She lies and says, "I'm okay." You just nod your head and walk away. You don't know what she does at home, what she says, what she thinks. She digs deeper each night, knowing her light is short, nothing more can save her. No one is her friend anymore. The darkness will blind her, the pain will deceive her, and you will never hurt her. You can't hurt someone that is already down, you can't change a person that is already shattered. She can't even see her own reflection, her mirror is too far broken. There is no way for her to breathe the truth, for all she knows is to lie. Burning the core of her lies and setting them on fire, no matter how dark they are, she wants them to be a part of her and her shield forever. She breathes once more and lets go of her flame...

THIS IS YOUR BEST ONE YET!!!!!! I loved it so much! I loved the metaphor and how you worded it so much! This is my favorite you've written. They just keep getting better and better, sadder and sadder. Is sadder a word? I don't know. Anyways, loved it so much!
