all of their wandering eyes burn holes in her skull
their whispers leave chapped lips and evil smiles
the world surrounding her seems so empty, not full
she just wants to never look back and run for miles

her hands tremor with the isolation and fears
as all the kids point with their finger, smile, and snicker
their eyes gleaming at her splotchy cheeks and tears
as her inner most lights are dimming and flicker

the hallways have become things of haunts and horror
the walls slowly asphyxiating her spirit
and while the family alerts the coroner
she screams from the shadows where no one can hear it
