The following is a poem written by a student of mine:

The tears hurt as they fall from my soul
Ripping my body apart I'm losing control
I turn to look at myself in the mirror
All I see is fear
The fear of a child that has not found her way
The fear of a person whose better judgment has skipped a few days
I see my beautiful hazel eyes' emptiness
I see the pain devouring my innocent soul
And yet I cannot feel it.
