GRAD PIC
Angela Odette C. Mendoza

They painted her like a porcelain doll
For all the world to see
Who was this amazing girl?
So elegant and lovely

Her almond eyes were gleaming
Her skin was white as snow
Everyone who saw her
Said she had a certain glow

Her long black hair was flowing
It was shining in the light
Who would have ever guessed
She was crying every night?

They continued on and painted her
'Til her lips were cherry red
Despite the dejection that she felt
She flashed a smile instead

She never felt this lonely
Never was she as sad before
Behind the tears and sleepless nights
Is that grad pic you adore
