Her Hair Does Not Go Along With Her Look

Her hair is all that with bubbly bouncy curls. But they do not bounce on this little child, Meryls. She has somber gray eyes that see clear enough. She might have been through traumatic stuff. I watch her closely, wondering what she might do. If I break out in a happy song or a cutesy soft shoe. Her hair does not seem to go along with her look. Face without affect, she is a girl not easily shook.
