Behind the Silence

Did you see her walk down the hall? Head hung low You pushed her up against a wall Called her a worthless Lift her sleeves and you will see The red lines Fresh from last night Look into her brown eyes There's no pain in plain sight A mirror once told her she was beauty But the voices inside her head claimed a little differently Emotional torture of the world's words Society's cruel view on beauty Leading to self infliction in reality Don't you see what's really happening? Comments on Facebook About everything she's not Too pale short tall Not a blonde Or a redhead Fat Skinny Her deepest fear Silent tears Ashamed of who she is Once a nightmare Now her reality She walks down the halls looks into the world's eyes And simply says good-bye
