Fade

An icy fists closes around her heart,
and arrows pierce her side

cheeks red, shoulders hunched,
the picture
of embarrassment.

Shame, greater than anything she's known before
hits
at any random time.

She becomes an uncertain mess,
her stomach a mosh pit,
guilty for little or no reason.

Invisible fists pummel her heart,
and icy water runs down her spine,
leaving the girl soaked
and hurt.

So she fades out,
takes a step back, loses her concentration or confidence;
whether she be singing or hanging out the washing
she loses
her spark

and with a heavy heart,
she begins,
to fade.

(authors note: sorry, I know it's a piece of crap, I just wanted to get it out there. I'll probably do another one which is better worded, later)
