Just There 11-21-00

She sits in the corner, completely unnoticed
Looking at her feet, hoping for someone.
Her deep brown eyes, searching for anyone
Anyone.


Sitting in the corner, she dreams
Dreams of a person who might actually care,
Of a person who…who she isn’t invisible to.
She now knows a few, who she thinks might just care
But never quite sure, she’s always just there.


Hoping and dreaming is what she does best
Dreaming and dreaming of the day she won’t be invisible.
Hoping that day will come soon…
She closes her eyes and hot tears begins roll down her face.
She’s ready for that day to come…
