The Girl

In a darkened corner of the room
Sits a girl with tears stained on her face
Do you know her?

Could you tell who she was
If she smiled just a little
Do you see her?

Can you sit beside her
With a smile plastered on your face
Do you feel her?

Would you get to know her
If she moved closer just a bit
Do you hear her?

Do you hear her cries
As she pleads for mercy
Do you love her?

Did you know that her sister pesters her
Calling her names, making her feel like an animal
Do you sense her?

Will you sing to her
While she crieds herself to sleep
Do you sing to her?

While she reads in the dark corner
Do you rub her back with concern
Do you touch her?

Lying on her side
The tears falling against her cheeks
Do you hate her?

Is she just here because
You imagined her sitting there
Do you pretend?

Your just sitting there
Losing your mind
Piece by piece

No one there to comfort you
Not even a glance
Your nothing to them

You could stand there for hours
And not even be seen
Your dirt beneath their shoes

You can move around
But your transparent
You're a withered rose

You light dead beneath your eyes
Your brilliance gone
You're dying slowly

You're a shadow amongst the living
A enemy among the friends
You're a ghost

Shh don't tell anyone
The girl in the corner

You know her
That girl in the corner
Is me

Could you tell?
Did you already know?
Well I am the girl
In the corner of a darkened room
