Her pencil skimmed the page, 
 
 blue eyes squinting like a wince of pain, 
 
 as dark eyes come to life upon a white sheet of paper. 
 
 She sat hunched over her desk 
 
 as students laughed and joked around, 
 
 but her world was a piece of paper. 
 
 Each hand stroke drew sorrow, 
 
 pain, heavy on the paper eyes. 
 
 Dark lines formed lips, 
 
 parted slightly, as if wishing 
 
 to plea for help, 
 
 but not having the words. 
 
 Her own lips parted, then closed 
 
 as her hand swept across the page. 
 
 Her pencil scratched the face 
 
 and outer page, sketching straggling hair 
 
 that almost hid those pleading eyes. 
 
 She never hesitated, but the hurried strokes slowed 
 
 as she traced hunched shoulders. They ’ re bare 
 
 but for the long black hair tumbling upon them. 
 
 Blue eyes, cast in shadow, flickered down as the pencil stopped. 
 
 It dropped to the table 
 
 as trembling, charcoal-smudged 
 
 fingers gently lifted the page. 
 
 Eyes met in a parody 
 
 of a mirror. 
 
 A bell rang. 
 
 She looked away, 
 
 Fingers pushed back tendrils of blond hair then 
 
 rubbed against her jeans, cleaning off the charcoal 
 
 but leaving a new mess. 
 
 As the other students filed out, she stood, 
 
 crumpled the picture, 
 
 and shoved it to the bottom of her bag.
