Oh girl what made you so blue

You are not the girl that I once knew

The one that had that smile

The one that always looked so wild

What happened to your blithe

That is the part of you I miss

What happened to your light

I know that you put up a good fight

Oh girl who made you so blue?

The author's comments:

My name is Kayla I am 15 years old and currently a freshman in high school. I have always loved poetry and have been writing it for almost a year now. I wrote this poem about a girl who was once very happy and got herself into a toxic relationship and it had a huge toll on her life
