| An Ending |
| I see the girl She's standing there in a corner all alone I want to say "hi", but I know what the others would say. "She's a nerd," they'll say. "She's a nerd. She's a freak" They say all these things. They think it can't harm. They go on, and on. What they don't know is that she hears. She hears all their words, and she sees all their scowls. She doesn't want to believe what they say, she thinks it's unfair. But what can she do? She is new in this town. If only they'd give her a chance. She won't get a chance. It's just like last time. It's just like all the times. It's always the same. She'll show them. Her parents--everyone will see. She doesn't need anyone. She doesn't. Does she? No, she can't let herself. She knows it isn't true. She's human, she needs people. Just like everyone else...If only she were like everyone else. If only...? If only what? If only a miracle would occur? If only once in her life she would fit in? If only indeed! What a fool she was! What a terrific fool she was! She's hopeless! Worthless! After all, they all thought so. So, she sat on the bed writing a letter, Not a greeting, but a goodbye, Because once she had done what she intended, She would never see them again. She was doing the right thing...wasn't she? If she were or not, she would never know. |
