Hey all! This is my first time posting a poem so….I dunno what it'll be like.  This poem is originally about me, but it fits Vanessa in the seventh book! I thought I could get some input from poet lovers out there…Well I hope you enjoy and please read (duh!) and review!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She wears a mask everyday,

put it on each morning; take it off each night.

Simply afraid of what others might say.

She hides her voice with a friendly smile,

her eyes glisten along.

Convincing everyone as she goes,

except herself…

A smile and a shrug will get her by,

perfect and proper all the time.

At night the mask is off,

a frown is always there.

She knows her world is make believe,

only a fairytale.

How could life be so perfect and horrible at once.

And then she knew,

this life was not her own.
