The invisible girl

It started with her feet, turning white
It gave the girl quite the fright 
seeing her toes giving off light 
It was truly a sight
for she had never seen something so bright 

A week passed, the translucency spreading
Her feet were gone and her legs were next 
Her body veiled white for a wedding 
It left the girl quite perplexed 

A month passed, her fingertips pale 
She could not identify a single nail 
Soon the girl started to wail 
for her visit to the doctor was an utter fail 

A year passed, her body lost 
Invisibility comes with a heavy cost
Her presence hidden in a coat of frost 
not knowing how it was caused
 
It ended with her shadow, making its retreat 
Her reflection had long since ceased to compete
The invisible girl turned fully incomplete 
for this loss marked her defeat

School wasn’t easy, for an invisible girl 
Most days made her want to hurl
Classmates tend to talk behind your back
That’s no issue, won’t make her crack 
But it’s far worse when you actually hear
When you’re right there 

While she can’t show it, she still feels it 
and while she can’t respond to it, she still hears it 

While her skin cannot be seen, it will still bleed 
and while her efforts go unnoticed, she still wants to succeed 
and despite her transparency, 
she still yearns for clemency
and company 
to fill the vacancy 
Is that greed?

Okay class, split into groups of three!
Remember kids, cooperation is key! 
But teacher, what about me?
Oh right, nobody can see
