Stolen
The wings of an angel
Who didn’t know she could fly.
You broke them before
She ever had the chance to
Lift off the ground.
What amazing things could she have done
If at such a young age
She wasn’t broken?
If she wasn’t told she was ugly?
If she was given a chance at friends?
If she was told that she could.
The smile of a girl
Who forgot how to feel joy.
Why must you steal everything precious?
Her beautiful eyes sparkle
Her smile lights up a room.
Her eyes haven’t sparkled in years.
In all the pictures she’s frowning.
Her once natural smile
Comes forced and strained
Like a lie on her face.
The creativity of an artist
Whose art was never seen
She made incredible things
She could do the impossible
Until her creativity was drained.
Sucked out of her
Like she was nothing.
Like her future was nothing.
She stares at a blank canvas
At a blank page
At a blank heart.
The love of a girl
Who hasn’t yet felt it.
Never had she felt a love
So deep that it physically makes her stronger
And she never will.
You broke her heart before she had the chance
To truly love.
Yet she still fantasizes
She doesn’t believe.
The dreams of a girl
Who can’t sleep
What must it be like
To always be awake?
And always have
A blank mind?
No hopes, no dreams, no feelings.
Just a black hole of pain.
She used to see dragons in the stars
Magic in the clouds.
Now the beautiful world
Around her is only
Shades of gray
The beauty of a prom queen
Who hasn’t won the crown
She doesn’t think she will,
She sees no worth in herself
Nor in anything she does.
Just ugliness and imperfections.
Who made her blind?
Who took this formerly
Happy girl and took it all?
Everything she had was stolen.
Everything.
The life of a girl
Who could’ve been so much more
If only she hadn’t been cut so deep.
