The Pariah S

Quietly, she sits in the corner looking in
    reflecting on how it all went down
Perplexed by her identity, her mind, her muse- 
    her soul purpose in this wasted life 

She thought too deeply - for too long
  about why her life is this way
Lack of drive, enthusiasm
    for the institutions she's in

Wake up! she says, but she was wide awake- 
    it was those that were succumbing to the
Institutions that were in a deep trance
