"poetry is when an emotion has found thought and the thought has found words" -robert frost


Yesterday I saw a girl
with eyes of stormy gray
her hair was black, just like the night
she seemed to fade away

Yesterday I saw a girl
who’s light skin faintly gleamed
at first i thought she was pretty
but she’s the angriest i’ve seen

Yesterday i saw a girl
and i thought she was mad
but under all that toughness
she’s just innocent and sad

Yesterday I saw a girl
walking down the street
burdened with the world’s dull weight
her head hung in defeat

Yesterday I saw a girl
vulnerable, and pale
I almost opened my mouth to speak
but words just seemed to fail

Today I kind of saw the girl
she was on the news-i checked
she made herself a necklace
with a noose around her neck
