I'd like to present a poem written by a friend of mine. She's fifteen years old and a very talented writer. You guys can check out her Instagram. Writing_15_ also has a new blog where she posts her poetry, book reviews and short stories. 

I watched you fade away, 

slowly.

Then all at once.

Like I watched the petals of a flower,

fall to the ground.

Parts of you fell away faster than others. 

Your sense of humour stayed, but your kindness fell of the stem. 

You aren’t the same person you once were.

Your petals continue to fall.

You are slowly changing into nothing but a stem. 

The water you need is no longer available, like the attention you no longer receive. 

Your petals have fallen to the ground, leaving nothing but a stalk.

You have changed, leaving nothing but a stranger.
