Sitting Pretty

Sitting Pretty 


when you're not looking

do you consider me 

what i'm thinking

why i stay

away 

did you know that i do

your 

not mine

and i'm a nobody's girl

suffocated

by those who were looking at me looking back at them

willing then

took their kill

i stay away

even when you are looking

especially then

been bled out

i'm just a shadow of my former self

sitting pretty someplace else
