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
