Poetry and Fine Arts
have always been
her best friend.
Everyday, she'd write
a poem or two and,
draw the visions
inside her mind.

At home, she's being
beleaguered with hurtful words
and goes to school late.
She jokes around
her friends while
they continue their
unfinished plates.

She loved mysteries
so much that
she became one.
Living with scars
and fears that
fills her mind
is what she had done.
