Watch, See, Listen, Hear

You watch the tears fall from her eyes. You see her walk out and away from the crowd. You listen as she tells how unwanted and useless she is. You hear her cry from the bathroom. You watch her struggle to socialize. You see her isolate herself from humanity. You listen to her criticize herself. You hear her fight against what might help. You watch as she gets herself out of every social situation. You see how uncomfortable she gets when someone speaks of her condition. You listen to how she makes excuses. You hear her say she is okay. You just watch and see and listen and hear as she pushes her way through life. And eventually, that may not be enough.
