Black Eyes
Her black eyes have darkened,
Blackened, burned like wisps of smoke.
But her smile laughs and insults,
Her makeup conceals the falling tears.
Society does not see it,
Society does not try,
Society makes her sick,
Society makes her cry.
Standing off to the distance,
She hears the other words,
And she is sorry,
So very sorry for everything.
Society does not see it,
Society does not try,
Society makes her sick,
Society makes her cry.
She is called that girl,
The girl only known for
What ruined her life,
The pregnancy scare.
Society does not see it,
Society does not try,
Society makes her sick,
Society makes her cry.
But her voice doesn't matter,
Nothing she says will change,
Even though she was raped,
Society mocks her happily.
Because they all think she is too perfect.
