No words were needed
to describe her inner beauty.
Yet she didn't see
what others loved so much about her.

She rejected compliments.
How could they possibly be true
if she didn't consider them so?

No words were needed
to appreciate her uniqueness.
Yet she didn't understand
how others could like her flaws.

She avoided conversations.
How could they see her insecurities
if they didn't see her?

So, she faded.
Didn't understand what 'social life' would be good for
if loneliness ate her up from the inside.
