The Painful Facts Of Pier
My Name is Pier
A vicious bulldog chained behind a fence
So melodious like singing winds
Super upbeat and booming like hip hop pop
I am a burning flame
Facing a brand new job with butterflies, planning a new future
Meeting that one... your best friend forever
A confused puppy locked in a kennel
An aggressive storm flodding towns
Abandoned... left behind in the rhythm
Still... stuck and dismayed in a hallway full of unfamiliarity
An insignificant human-being ridiculed about looks and size
Isolated and overwhelmed with slight depression
She's now lonely and sarcastic with disrespect
Skeptical about who will victimize her next
She has potential, confidence and filled with energy... but no one seems to notice
Hesitant to even remotely speak to a boy/guy
So open and optimistic and yet still taken for granted
Shocked that anyone would ever talk to her
Perplexed that she has even a few friends
