Her story

If you look on the sidelines,
In the dark corners,
You’ll find her,
Hidden by her mane,
Her nose in a book.

With her head in the clouds,
Hiding her feelings,
Away from the world,
If you sat by her,
While the world passed you by,
She would tell you a story.

Behind the pain in her eyes,
Your smile would make
her feel worthwhile,
But you don’t look for her in the dark corners,
You won’t meet her eyes.

So she sits there waiting,

Waiting with bated breath,

To be given a chance.
