Whose Reality?

Who’s that girl huddled in the corner watching the passerby’s with a smile on her face? Crying at night when she feels so alone? Clothes like a beggar on the street Eyes duller than the night sky Who’s that girl feasting on crumbs like a meal on Thanksgiving Day? Smile glued on her swollen lips from the night spent in the cold Heart carelessly shredded to pieces Who’s that girl without a mother to watch her grow? Feared and avoided like the plague itself Hidden by the hideous form and shunned by all Who’s that girl curled into herself against the harsh wind? Rocks thrown not caring for the sobs of the lonely girl Cruel eyes boring into her back Coldness pushing her to the brink of death Who’s that girl sitting in the corner with a frown on her face? Gone through so much yet still carrying the hope passed on Ticking of the clock nothing more than a constant reminder Body going limp Head toppling over Falling off the ledge into an abyss darker than the reality Who’s that unfortunate girl? Growing weary of the surroundings Breaths shortening Ending coming quicker than ever before Who’s that girl without a father to tell her it’ll be okay? Left and betrayed by the one she cared for Trusting the person she shouldn’t have Thrown away like a bag of trash Who’s that girl without a friend to hold her hand? Eyes rolling back Bones quaking from the warmth that was never there Single tear making its way down the cheek Who’s that girl at the threshold of heaven and hell? Nothing to hold on Slipping away ….
