Heard Things About This Girl
I hear people talk about this girl
She has gray eyes
black hair that falls to her shoulders
People say she is
pretty, nice, and smart
People say she is creative
and they like her art
She is quit
she speaks in whispers
because she is afraid
if someone hears her voice
they'll hear the fear
the fear of all the people around her
so she speaks more on paper
with words and pictures
that few people understand
I started hearing these things
about her in high school
I used to know this other girl
back in jr. high
she had long black hair
that went to the middle of her back
eyes covered by reading glasses
people said she was
weird, awkward, and a nerd
People were nice to her
when they needed to copy her homework
people used to spread rumors and laugh
at her behind her back
she was shy but spoke up
she wanted friends and
she tried her best to make them
so she let people walk all over her
and she left behind a real friend
to try to make more
I used to know this little girl
way back in grade school
she had knotted blonde her
that she hated to have brushed
her eyes were wide and filled with hope
hope that the next school year
would be better then the last
Kids said she was
ugly, fat, and gross
she was loud and cried a lot
she thought people liked her
until they told her what they really thought
she wanted to be liked
more then anything in the world
she wanted others to like her
because she never liked herself
I know this girl
people think a lot of different things
about her
but most of them aren't true
they don't try to git to know her
they see a totally different girl
when they look at her
I am the only one who really know her
I think that she is
fat, ugly, dumb, and useless
I cringe when I see this girl
because I hate the sight of her face
but I still have to see sit every day
I hate her so much that I cut her
I hate her so much I won't let her eat
I hate her so much some times
that I wish she was dead
this girl lives in the mirror
all these girls do
the girls I hear about
I haven't been able to see
I look in the mirror
trying to find the girl
people tell me about now
but all the girls I know
keeps telling me
she doesn't exist
