"The Girl With the Pearl Earring," by Indi F.

She sits there

Waiting for the painters to finish their masterpiece.

Day and night she was handcrafted ever -so carefully, 

no one dared go outside the lines.

Every

line,

boundary,

frame,

limit,

end,

rule,

constraint,

and border

were beautifully crafted.

Every 

stroke,

mark,

color,

emotion,

interaction, 

even her earrings 

were meticulously planned—

for her benefit of course. 

She dared not to complain

After all, 

Who would be dissatisfied with a picture-perfect life?
