Mar 2020
Once she was a blank canvas, ready to be taught.
But when she stepped outside, in the storm she was caught.
She signed up for the battle, and in the war she fought.
She wanted to have happiness, and love is what she sought. 

So she sacrificed her innocence to see the bright blue sky.
But instead she found a raging storm, just outside.
The storm took her, became her... and promised she wouldn't die.
So she trusted it, only to see... It was all a lie.

And people started painting themselves upon her skin.
So she adopted all their evil ways. Soaked them in.
Then she became a new girl, full of fateful sins.
Although, in her mind, the storm blew over... And her group did win.

But what happened to honesty, integrity, and truth?
Where was her real self? The memories were few.
Instead she lived a false life that others for her drew.
She forgot living inside, she just did what others do.

Her past was all forgotten.
Her love, in fact, did die.
That awful storm she was caught in,
Left her a perfect painting of lies.
