She wonders if they realize.
She wonders if they know.
Do they see she's dying inside,
From all of her broken hope?
She sits in the corner,
Where no one ever looks.
She quietly escapes reality
Because she's reading books.
She goes home and runs inside,
Hiding from her life.
She slams her door and closes her eyes.
She's waiting for the fight.
She sits.
She waits.
She hears the screams.
The yelling back and forth.
She covers her ears.
When foot steps are suddenly heard.
She jumps up,
Tears stinging in her eyes.
She knows it's the end.
But she was never ready to die.
