Goodbye to the girl,
who wanted the world.
Who wanted to invent herself.
To leave her legacy.

Goodbye to the child,
that was never wild.
Calm and collected.
Hiding behind a mask.

Goodbye to the daughter,
of a perfect mother and father.
Obedient and kind,
a quality desired.

Goodbye to the friend.
Enduring scars that won’t mend.
Isn’t it enough,
to keep the despair from growing?

Goodbye to the sister,
I truly will miss her.
Helpful and delicate,
a sibling’s best friend.

Goodbye to the athlete,
a characteristic found attracting.
Couldn’t take the pressure.
It buried and crushed her.

Goodbye to the student,
a language she spoke fluent.
Trying her hardest,
teased was the result.

Goodbye to the girl,
who wanted the world.
She is only a memory,
fading into nothing.

Disappearing like the seasons,
gone then reappearing.
Now it’s everlasting.
Goodbye to that girl.
