To Be Quite Frank
A simple girl
But not really
Big ideas
Called silly
Lost in books
Survived by song
Modest looks
Childhood gone
A yellow star
Always, worn
To prove the scar
Jewish born
Her head, high
Her family frowned
She knew, not, why
It should be down
The day came
When everything
She ever knew
Forever, changed
Pulled from school
Denied, goodbyes
Placed in a box
Forced to hide
Lovely locks
Amber eyes
Two fearful years
She stays inside
A life not wasted
She spent her time
Shaping a story
To leave behind
A famous author
Who’s documentation
Tugged at hearts
Across the nations
To be quite Frank
This girl, named Anne
Wrote the history
We understand
