she who is

she is an off-white speck

on a white wall.

a cabbage-patch kid in a world

of barbie dolls.

the one who thinks just a

little more than she lets on.

the one who has more love

than you care to come upon.

she wears weird clothes

because she needs to stand out.

she will talk your ear off

because silence fills her with doubt.

she won't let you love her

because love often doesn't last,

and she can't seem to step

out of all the shadows she's cast.
