Tattered and bruised
a heart crushed by disappointment.
Watching helplessly as her mind is lost
on an open highway of despair.
Unable to shed tears of pain
for her well has run dry.
Escape a distant dream as she observes
all she has ever known.

Aww this was deeply emotional and really tugged at my heartstrings. You've really captured the innocence of the picture and expressed its contrast of pain held within the young girl. You truly pulled meaning from the picture and conveyed it through your words, brilliantly. This was dark yet beautiful.
Loved it hun!!!
& congrats on gold.. very well deserved! -
Very sad and powerfully written. I like "open highway of despair", gives it a feeling of how vast that anguish is! Excellent write.
