A Slice Of Life

A happy cheerful girl, 

Always eager and inquisitive. 

Teachers loved her and

Parents adored her. 

One fateful night, 

Life turned upside down, 

As her soul was crumpled, 

By someone close and known. 

Her tender mind couldn't focus, 

And her grades slipped. 

Topper that she was, 

Barely managed to pass. 

Her revelation to her parents, 

Did indeed go well. 

But the damage done, 

Was beyond, being undone. 

She bore it all and moved forward, 

Successful, she became in all her endeavors. 

This episode still does haunt her, 

But she brushes it off with her confident smile.
