Losing Control
She was always the girl in the spotlight.
You thought she and her boyfriend were perfect together
But perfection can deceive the eye.
She played sports so her bruises seemed normal.
She always seemed so put together,
so when she was gone,
And after you read her note,
You realize that she was losing control and begging for anyone to help.
