Girl In The Dark
There’s a girl you never notice
In the middle of every class
She’s a very quiet person
Who waits for time to pass
She doesn’t speak much
She doesn’t like attention
She’s the girl in the dark
What a weird thing to mention
She has some friends
But they barely care
They tell her their issues
And get in her hair
She fakes her interest
When they talk of their fears
She doesn’t really listen
Their words pass by her ears
There are people who care
Like a girl young and kind
She used to hurt every day
But got better with time
The girl in the dark
Always asked her for advice
She said it’s all she needed
But a hug would be nice
Another is a boy
Who hid things with a cover
He hid his love for her
But this girl loved another
Each night she waits
For the time she can sleep
She’ll escape the day
And hide in the deep
The deep is the dark
A place she knows best
She comes here to think
To rid the weight off her chest
Sleep is usually hard to find
So instead she lies awake
And thinks everything over
Mainly her every mistake
She thinks about a girl
Who never leaves her thoughts
It’s really quite pointless
But her mind is in knots
She eats each day
This is very true
Not always enough
But her care is far from view
This is the girl you don’t notice
Crying in the night
She hurts and breaks each day
And hides it with a smile so bright
You’ll never notice this girl
Or the pain from her fight
But you probably don’t care
She’s a girl in the dark amidst the light
