She had the face of a doll She had the body of a dancer She had sunkissed skin and deep brown eyes as though she saw through layers of rich chocolate She was as delicate as fine China She was as kind as a sweet old lady She was very young though, too young to be as beautiful as she was The prettiest flowers are always picked first By picked we don't understand that this means ripping the flower away from the earth and taking its life away too And even at such a young age she was definately picked She was bullied She was abused And with each insult and each rumour a wall was slowly built Brick by brick Her kindness quickly faded away For how else was she supposed to protect herself And they wonder why the prettiest are the meanest.
