Narcissus and Echo
There’s a girl who loves to speak
She talks
She laughs
She goes on forever
There’s a girl who has no time
She’s mean
She steals
She makes fun of
Now the girl who loved to speak
Has nothing left to say
The girl with no time took her voice
And threw it all away
This girl is now sad and lonely
She puts her thoughts at bay
A boy comes along the path
Maybe he’ll give her the time of day
This boy is addicted to his feed
The likes
The comments
The attention
This girl gives in to this boy
She likes
She comments
She pays attention
This boy is the coolest in school
But he gives no time for anyone else
The only time he has is for himself
This girl has learned to just shut her mouth
Forever to shy to actually speak
all she can do is just repeat
This girl wastes her time trying to get approval
Hoping one day people will think she was cooler
But sadly to say that’s just not the way
This is where the story goes a little astray
The mean girl is gone
But her impact is long
This girl is to shy
She is just starting to cry
This boy is so absorbed
No help he acts like a board
This girl shoots her shot
But she just gets blocked
This boy loves himself
More than anyone else
She tries and she tries
But all the boy does is lies
Soon enough
The girl just gives up
All she wanted was a simple What’sup
