Paint a Day
Her eyes are dark and wild
when they used to be bright and sunny;
Paint a day he said,
a day in the life of her
A girl trapped inside of this human body
So plain
so boring
so ugly
Said to be pretty
But pretty was never enough for her
She wants more
She is more
She has to be
She can't just be some earthly little human being
When she hears of all the things that happen and are and could be; Fiction.
She looks for him; for the boy she knows she'll recognize when she sees'
He's there
He's real
He knows there's more
He knows there's her
And he'll take her there
Fantasy is her reality Is her true being
She's different from the rest
A dreamer they say
Appalled
Disgusted
Useless
Alive
Dead
Gone
Here
Words can't describe
Only a look
A look he will see
A look if you would only notice
Her voice Is not real
It can't be confined to such a thing
Not inhuman
Not god
Not a spirit
Not holy
Not unworthy
Not evil
Just different
Not pure
Nothing
Everything
The universe
The leaves
The cities
The trees
The wind
A list can go on and on
The ocean
And him
He is
She wants
She needs
She lives
She lives and she walks the streets
Sleeps in her bed
With her own roof over her head
But it can't satisfy
There are so many things inside of her tiny little brain
Human brain
She's lost She's crazy She's told so every day
She kills She wills she she she
It
Time
Space
Life
What is it all? When a girl can sit and do what she can do at a computer screen so small and does it make any sense to you? Does this crowded page on an empty empty online universe mean a thing to you?
She doesn't stop
She doesn't end
It goes on and on and she looks for him
Silly little things
Humane little things
Dirty little things
Will take her mind off of this
A gift? A power? A will to use? To abuse? To write?
When no one will ever see
Or hear
Because it doesn't matter
She's shy
He's alive
And those things will take her mind of this
An Overdose on emptiness
She doesn’t care
she doesn’t try
she doesn’t feel
she doesn’t lie
insanity another girls ... lack of words spilled on pages who don’t deserve
