The Girl
She walks down a lonely hallway
People watch and stare
Looking at her like an animal at the zoo
Laughing at her
She walks to the restroom,
Afraid if she runs they'll laugh more
Waits till everyone leaves the restroom
Looks in the mirror
She sees nothing but the words they shout at her
"Ugly!" "Fat!" "Stupid!"
She starts crying
She looks through her backpack
Trying to find comfort in something
She finds a shard of glass
She looks away and presses it toward her wrist
She slowly presses it against her skin
Repeatedly
