with her head dangling low
and her palms secreting
a feeling of dread
takes over

wandering the hallways
chest pumping, trembling feet
she wishes these thoughts
will  come to a halt

she cannot grasp
this mysterious pain
pain that crushes
her existence 

continuing to stroll the hallway
her head thumps and thumps
Crash! Bam! Boom!
she cannot withstand this mysterious pain

mysterious pain
captures her, daily,
leaving her vulnerable
to the attacks that this mysterious pain carries

the numbing in her hands, leaves her crying
why she feels this mysterious pain
this pain trails beside her
like a toxic friend

walking into her class
wobbling, woozy,
pain pulls her, grabs her, taunts her
into a zone of pure bitterness

this mysterious pain
may leave the girl powerless
the girl refuses to give up
day by day, tacking her mysterious pain
