the girl in the bathroom


no one notices the girl in the bathroom
she sits staring at the wall
they all pass by 
maybe one day saying "are you okay"
then she says she fine
and they forget she exists again
 
she hides from the war outside
the comments coming from the enemies 
she sits day after day
being ignored
no one knowing she exists
she's like a ghost 
 
she walks the school grounds
see everyone running past her
no one notices her tears streaming down her face
her only friend
is the imagination in her head
she dreams of being noticed
for even one person to say hi
for one person to not call her a bitch 
 
she's the girl in the bathroom 
thats what they say
shes the bitch 
shes the slut 
don't be friends with her
she'll ruin your life 
this is why she sits in the bathroom
waiting for that bell that signals freedom 
so she can run to her house
only to be alone even more 
she's the girl in the bathroom 
now shes gone
