Lies

(Lies)

Ostracized, excluded and ignored,
Nobody cared,
Her emotions…
Was all over the place,
One minute high…then low,
Happy then sad,
Anger…rage…and depression
People didn’t understand?
The voices…was deceptive,
She was…ugly and worthless,
Unloved and hated!!!!!
Get away…they said…go,
So off she went…
Day after day,
Long…lonely walks,
Trying to work it all out,
Her brain…in turmoil,
What was she going to do?
Sit down…she was told,
Stay there!
That bench...there…stupid,
They were strong!
Do…as you’re told…
Hours and hour…sitting alone,
Watching and listening 
The rain played a tune,
Dripping from the tree…
It echoed,
Cold and freezing.
Unable to move…and unaware.
Of her mother’s love
How she cried every day,
Praying…that one day 
Her little girl
Would realise.
She had friends.
Wishing that she would come home.
