little miss busybody

little miss kind

doesn't mind her eyes glowing

cares about their lives

someone tells her "stop changing"

she tells herself "i'm fine"

in every single situation

they can't escape the lies.

About the Creator

Ruby Red

"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts."

- William Shakespeare

Consider this a doorway to my heart and soul. 🌱
