People look away when they see her
that ugly girl who roams the streets
clutching a book to her chest
eyes wide with wonder and fright.
her hair is black and greasy
the color of milk coats her face
hands that are pure white
clothes that are old and stained.
her mind is always clicking
never stopping to rest
and the only thing she is ever thinking of
she would never tell a soul.
the only wish she wants granted in life
the secret she's kept all along
lies deep within her heart
and that is to have a friend.
just one single friend,
to whisper secrets and thoughts with,
to have sleepovers and share feeling with
a friend that would gaze past her looks
and find the real girl inside.
this wish of hers has not yet
been granted
this prayer not answered
because she is still
searching the streets
Day after day
keeping her eyes open for
that special persom
who could make her life
BETTER
