Untitled
She sits in a corner
She averts her eyes
Though no one sees her
She thinks they pry
She darts her head
She covers her face
No one can hear
Her beating heart race
She smiles on cue
She laughs without heart
They get the feeling
She's lost a part
She pulls down her sleeves
So the colors don't show
But some peek through
Her skin does not glow
The watercolor painting
She hides on her arms
Her father gave to her
She knows he does harm.
