Your best friend is laying down
in the casket before you
and it's all wrong.
She's wearing a dress, yet
everyone knew that
the only time she wore
one was to mock those
who "colored inside the lines."
Her hair is up, but she
always had it down
to cover her flaws and
the distant look in her eyes.
Her lips are in a straight line,
but she was known as
the girl who would be laughing
at her own funeral, and here
she was, tightlipped.
Looking at her body that
would soon only leave
bones behind, it was
obvious that nobody ever
looked past the skin deep
features, nobody took notice
of a girl who strove to
blend in, and succeeded.
