Unknown
I am unknown.
People see my smiling face and big, bright eyes. They wonder and watch, but do not
see the sorrow that lies within me.
It is hard for a girl to see her friends move along when she falls behind. People
don't understand how a girl who has seen a baby's first words and an old woman's
last could wake up in the morning and fall asleep at night.
She is alone, and I am unknown.
The secrets that I keep poisen the blood in my veins. Everyday a peice of me fades
away and soon I shall no longer be. But still I wonder why the sky is blue, and still I
dream that one day I shall have a name.
I cry when a heart is broken and shame the one who has brought pain. Life is long,
tough, and unfair at times. But I hope one day to fully liveand be rid of my pain and
sorrow. To be the girl people know me to be and finally to be called a name that
does not bring pain.
Until that day I still remain.
I am unknown.
