She falls

She's screaming
so loud it hurts her lungs
watching the happy people pass
how many songs have they sung?

Puts on a smile
oh! how pretty
but she feels so alone...
people crowd around, a city

Wants to be done
hates herself for tears
pushes to the back of her mind
pointless little fears

Hide it all away
she shouldn't waste the time
if she never mattered...
that's her rueful crime

She falls to the ground
and bangs her knees
cries out one more time
so hard to be a person no one needs
