The Girl With The Broken Smile~

by Amy   Aug 13, 2004


There she is all alone
Sitting in the corner by herself
So over looked
Like an abandoned toy on a shelf

She walks through the halls
Pushed each and every way
Knocked to the ground
Not a word does do they say

She gathers up her books
Being walked over by the crowd
Shes ashamed of herself
And not too proud

In class she sits in the back
Where she can hide her face
No one talks to her
Not part of the human race

She wears baggy clothes
So she can hide what shes done
The scars and bruises
She never has any fun

Shes never invited
To the parties they throw
Every night shes at home
Waiting by the phone

Every second of the day
Her parents scream & fight
She blocks her ears
Cries herself to sleep at night

Her cheeks stained
From the many tears she cries
Black make up
Smudged around her eyes

So look for the girl
With the broken smile
Who no one notices
Her spirit breaking all the while

One day she wont be there
A face missing from the class
She disappeared so quickly
Taking with her, her troubled past

So look around
There's girls like her everywhere
The loner no one likes
Do you even care?

Of course you don't
Shes just like me
The messed up kid
No one wants to see

Its easy to ignore
Pretend you don't care
But just wait and see
One day she wont be there

Its people like you
Who kill girls like this
They take their life
With one slash to the wrist

So next time think
What your actions do
Who knows
This girl could be you
