Used and abused by her peers
With feelings of self hate
Takes into her hands her fate
Poison was sealed with her tears
Beauty belying it's contents
Sits in the cool morning air
Resigns herself with despair
Drinking all of the ingredients
Dignity saved but at what cost
For She is now forever lost

Very beautifully done, my only thoughts were on the gender, I know it doesn't perhaps matter but it is a boy not a girl and feel the picture adds confusion. However, without that thought, this piece flows smoothly and creates a sad feeling.
Thanks for entering.
Much luck.
