Shannon Washington

I am just a sad girl who wanders the world. 

Someone who is easily forgotten almost like a ghost. 

I am a figment of everyones imagination. 

Because if I leave they never think of me again. 

I am a girl who spent her freshman year sitting at the nerds table and even they have forgotten me. 

Sometimes I fell like I am nothing. 

I worry that I'm just a ghost. 

Some spirit or person who has died and made up a pathetic life for themselves. 

I feel hated by many because the color of my skin. 

Classified under stupid because of it as well. 

And somehow even though I try. I feel like I will never be enough. 

To weird for the normal people and to normal for the weird. 

Where do I belong?

I question that all the time. 

Do I really have a place in this world?

I don't know what I am anymore. 

I walk in the world with my head down to the ground. 

I am broken. Just like the many people I met. 

I hold so many secrets as I listen to others. 

But who will listen to me?

The answer is no one because no one really cares for me enough to do that. 

I am just a girl who cares for every enough to die in the place of another. 

Yet, everyone ignores me. 

I am absolutely nothing.
