poetic justice

there's a girl

sitting silently

in a cold room

because silence is all you have

when there's no one left



she's trying not to cry

tears are frozen to her smile

she's an outcast

a loner

alone



scratching death into her wrist

with ink pens and

paper clips



what's the fastest way to gt it done?



she lost it all when

she started to care

about losing anything

what did she have but fear



she sat there long enough

to know nothing was coming back

a loner

alone



she never wanted this life

her dreams were spent on

something more tangable

then dreaming

for something better



ironically enough

she saw this coming

never wanting to stop it

it feels good to be

alone



nobody can hurt you that way



they pulled her black converse all star

from the ocean tide

Author's Notes/Comments: 

a lot of this is... insight into my own head, i guess. i got it from looking at my shoe today where i wrote poetic justice last year. and from the picture sean took where he wrote life on my wrist. it's important, only i know why.

Mmm.. a nice play on what you expect. Sounds reminiscent of myself. Isn't that great news?
