Kelli White Poet Free verse

Nothing

She smells like nothing 
To the whole world 
Tattered dress ripped leggings 
Pigtails on the sad girl 
No one sees her face
She slinks around 
All hopes and dreams 
Shattered no fortunes found
Onlookers judge her dirty clothes 
Unrecognizable the sweet 
Child of nobody and no one
Raised in the street
She smells like nothing
To the whole world
