Today I looked at photographs

of a young girl

whose smile was so bright

and she was on top of the world.

She had big dreams

and wasn't afraid of reality

She always felt loved

and her mind was healthy.

But then she grew up

and many things changed.

Her heart started to break,

consuming thoughts came her way.

All that's left is photographs

the place where that smile is pure

where life wasn't so bad

and she didn't feel unheard.
