Disapear

There once was a girl,
That no one understood.
She never seemed to speak.
No one thought she could.

She just sat there in class,
Doodling in a notebook,
Listening to the teacher's lectures.
But no one seemed to look.

Look at the beautiful drawings,
Of random objects and things.
People, animals, plants, and landscapes,
That were drawn from memory.

These drawings were her world,
The only things she had.
The only things she cherished,
But she had to hide them from her dad.

He thought them as stupid,
And thought she could do better.
She knew she could,
But her drawings wouldn't let her.

For her drawings were her escape route,
A place for her to hide.
A drawing for happy moments,
A drawing for when she lied,

A drawing for her anger,
A drawing for her sadness,
A drawing for a heart break,
And a drawing for her madness.

She had a picture to escape through,
For every emotion she felt.
So she could disappear,
Like ice, when it melts.

Disappear from the world,
And from everything around it.
Just until she felt better,
Only for a little bit.

But every time she hoped,
She would disappear forever,
Never to be found,
But her drawings wouldn't let her.

Because she always came back,
Came back to the real world.
It's then her problems are solved,
Her complications unfurled.

Its then she realized,
You can't just disappear.
So, as her drawings burn,
All you notice are her tears.
