No One Realized

by Locked X In   Apr 2, 2007


And no one realized
How much this girl was affected
By the words people spoke to her everyday.
They saw that she would laugh
When they jokingly called her fat
When they told her she was stupid
Worthless, pathetic.
What they didn't see was that every day
She would think of everything that was said
And believe every word.
She soon lost the sight of beauty,
In herself, in her friends, in life.
All her confusion, all her thoughts
Turned to rage
Now, she's the one insulting people
And she means every word.
You hear others talking about her
Behind her back
Saying things like "what happened to her? She used to be my friend"
And no one realized
That it was their own ignorance
That caused her to change for the worse.

I wrote this for a SLAM contest I competed in.
