She skips supper sometimes.

She seldom sleeps soundly since.

She's struggling, surely.

She seems so sad.

Someone suggested, "She's sick."

She shouldn’t shoulder such suffering.

She shouldn't show such sensitivity.

She shouldn't speak so sharply.

She shouldn't stay so spiteful.

Someone scoffed, "She's simply stubborn."

She should seek some stability.

She should set some standards.

She should see someone.

She should smile.

Someone surmised, "She's spiraling."

She's standoffish.

She's scornful.

She's selfish.

She's shrill.

Someone speculated, "She’s sinking."

Surprise!

She's satisfied.

She's secure.

She's strong.

She's safe.

So stop spreading slander.

She's surviving.
