The Girl in the Mirror

Look in the mirror
What do you see?
Do you see the girl?
The pained girl
Abused girl
Unloved girl
That girl is me

You see her in public
In the back of the classroom
She cries, but does anyone notice?
We act as if we don't
Because we don't care
Why?

She's used to it
But she longs for more
To be loved
To be cared about
To be treated like a girl should be
But does anyone notice?
Does anyone care?
No

And that's why
The girl in the back of the room
Is no longer there
She's gone
Free
No longer pained
She lies six feet under
In a eternal sleep
