A she by definition
Not by insight
Smart in school
Dumb in daylight

Pretty, they say
Ugly in her eyes
Useless anyway
"So hopeless" she cries

Big as she is
But always so meek
Strong as she seems
But always so weak

Deprived of the world
She hungers for life
Nothing ever works
All she can do is write

The girl in the dark
Alone and scared
Writes her life away
With a gift so rare
