Beauty In The Breakdown. Poem by Felicity Phillips

She looked in the mirror and didn't recognize herself.
What had he done to her?
What had he done to her?
Once a beautiful girl, now a shattered girl.
Once upon a time, she was perfect
Perfect grades, perfect hair,
Perfect clothes, kind and sweet.
Her world changed that one night.
The night he said he no longer was in love with her, her world changed.
To get rid of her pain, she relied on drugs.
Constantly telling herself she wanted to die.
Now, she needed to change.
But it wasn't gonna be easy.
She's learning, life goes on.
