She walks alone
A shadow in the street
No one to call
No voice to meet
Her heart is heavy
Her hands are cold
A story untold
A soul unsold
The outsider girl
No family to hold
No mom
No dad
Just nights so cold
The outsider girl
The world’s her cage
No love to anchor
No arms to engage
She dreams in silence
Her voice a whisper
The stars don’t answer
The nights grow crisper
She writes her name in the fogged-up glass
Watches it fade
Like her past
A question lingers
What did she do
To lose the love she never knew
The outsider girl
No family to hold
No mom
No dad
Just nights so cold
The outsider girl
The world’s her cage
No love to anchor
No arms to engage
A bird with no nest
A tree with no root
A song with no tune
A life so acute
She stands in the crowd but feels so small
Invisible girl
No one to call
