Audacious
by Gabrielle Prendergast
Raphaelle
Named after the archangel
Not an angel at all
Thought by many to be the devil
Trying to be some
thing
one
else
Finds love
Finds heartbreak
Finds family
Loses freedom
Loses normalcy
Loses God
Her story
In verse
Final thoughts: Simple verses tell a powerful story that really should be read in one sitting. Raphaelle has a number of serious issues to deal with including her father's emotional distance, her mother's bulemia, her brother's early death, her sister's asthma, and a whole lotta other things that go wrong because she's constantly to trying to be someone different to get away from her memories of the past.
