Prompt: Write a poem or prose with the title, "A girl".

She's a girl
you'd never think
of twice.
Her words are sarcastic
and so is her smile.
Her steps are hesitant
but her walk is arrogant.
Her heart is weak
but her aura isn't.

She's a storm
with skin and bones.
Her tears flow in rivers
but that's for no one to know.
She'd provide help
and is yet useless.
She'd slit herself
and yet be flawless.

She's a book
you'd see blank.
A heart
you'd find in shreds.
She's a girl.
And her identity
is no more than a slave.
