Behind the Silence
Location
Did you see her walk down the hall?
Head hung low
You pushed her up against a wall
Called her a worthless
Lift her sleeves and you will see
The red lines
Fresh from last night
Look into her brown eyes
There's no pain in plain sight
A mirror once told her she was beauty
But the voices inside her head
claimed a little differently
Emotional torture of the world's words
Society's cruel view on beauty
Leading to self infliction in reality
Don't you see what's really happening?
Comments on Facebook
About everything she's not
Too pale
short
tall
Not a blonde
Or a redhead
Fat
Skinny
Her deepest fear
Silent tears
Ashamed of who she is
Once a nightmare
Now her reality
She walks down the halls
looks into the world's eyes
And simply says good-bye
