You see that girl,

She looks so happy.

You see the sun?

It’s 80 degrees out.

Why is she wearing jeans and sweater?

You see that girl?

What a beautiful smile.

Why don’t you sit down?

And talk to her for awhile.

Maybe then you will understand.

“Of course I’m fine” she will say.

Look in her eyes.

What do you see?

Look deep in her eyes.

Maybe you’ll see.

Her eyes are so empty.

She has become so numb.

You see that sweater?

Under the sleeves are scarlet red lines.

You see those jeans?

It’s the same underneath.

You see that smile?

It tells a thousand lies.

You see that girl?

That girl is me.
