Fallen Girl

I thought they were good.
I thought they were nice.
I knew they didn't like me,
But I thought they at least had respect.
How wrong I was.

I have no friends,
This you must know.
So I wander back and forth
Down the one hallway at school.

I'm a sad girl.
Loneliness presses hard on my heart.
They don't see that,
They only see scum
Who has to earn her money.

If they knew what goes on,
Would they have laughed today?
Would they see humor tomorrow
If the news said I was dead?

Would they miss the one
They humiliate so freely.
Would they care
That they caused this destruction?

A slippery floor,
A fallen classmate.
What do they do?
Point and laugh.

Many of them I grew up with.
We went our separate ways.
That part doesn't really bother me,
It's the fact that they don't care.

I can still see their faces,
I can hear the laughter.
Of the sad girl on the floor,
Who wasn't offered help.

I got up.
I tried to shake it off.
I didn't mean to cry,
At least the haters didn't see.

I never wanted anything from them.
I don't know why I wanted something now.
I thought they'd have the decency to look the other way
If they were just going to stand there.

I wish they could have looked in my eyes.
I wish they could have seen the pain.
They don't know what goes on.
They only see the fallen girl...
Nothing else.

~This is true. I know it\'s dumb, I just fell...but it hurt that the people I used to be close to just laughed and didn\'t bother to help or ask if I was ok. Please vote and comment~
