Now 2 empty chairs sit side by side
Because no one asked why she cried
The boys still dreamed
And the girls still gleamed.
No one would ask
Of the girl beside the empty desk
But they would glare
Because she wasn't fair.
Her eyes saw a dark world
Where everyone else stood,
Trying to stand taller than the rest
And become the very best.
Instead, the chairs grow emptier
As the social system becomes messier.
