She stands in the corner

While the world passes her by

Basking in the knowledge

That no one sees her pleading heart

Hidden in the darkness

Surrounded by the dredge

Her sorrowful eyes

Speak more than a thousand words can

​

Her heart hungers

For someone to glance longer

Take a single look closer

Peer around the edges farther

Look past the darkness that surrounds her

And instead, find the light that embraces her
