Literature Text

she looks like she's caved in
upon herself
so, she's stolen the butterflies
right out of the sky.
no one has bothered to
tell her this life is a lie
she'll keep on existing
because she doesn't cry.
but little girls with bright blue eyes
were never meant to live a lie.

Been a while since I've read this one.
It's still absolutely beautiful.
(You know how in comments some people quote their favorite lines? I tried to do that, but then realized I was typing out the whole poem)
