Outside In
Outside looking through
the window she saw
what she never had
family gatherings and parties
occasions good and bad.
As her breath fogged up the
window and the picture began
to fade
she finally knew why all her life things
felt like one giant mistake.
She whispered at night
God help me im so empty inside
And as she closed her eyes she sighed
I hope that you hear me tonight.
At school they always pick
on her, say mean things, make fun
of her clothes and the way she thinks.
The tears drop down her shirt as
she ponders if this can get any worse.
Walking home, she strolls alone
nobody there to care as the
streets grow bare, she sits in the dark
next to the light pole.
She whispers at night
God help me im so empty inside
And as she closed her eyes she sighed
I hope you finally hear me tonight
