Anne Frank - Hannah Pike

Beyond the bookcase,

In the door,

Hiding from the Nazis,

Scared yet safe.

Writing her diary in peace,

Hours gazing out the window to her freedom,

She thinks of all the beauty still left around and is happy,

Her hope lives on.

Two years concealed in the only space she has,

Writing to Kitty as her terrifying life carries on.

Wishing to see the wondrous world outside,

She watches the graceful birds fly by,

She stares at the leaves drifting delicately off the trees,

And the flowers dancing in the breeze,

She wants to be free.
