Can You See Her?
Do you see her there?
Huddled in the corner,
Gasping for air?
Do you see her?
Crying tears of pain,
On the pedestal of perfect?
A spot that so many try to obtain.
Do you see her?
Suffering in silence,
Her dreams crushed to dust?
Do you see her?
Fighting a battle that no one sees,
Fighting off an invisible disease.
Do you see her?
She's right over there!
With her long, brown hair.
DO YOU SEE HER?
Right over there!!!
LOOK!!!
Look at her gasping!
Look at her crying!
Look at her trying to be perfect!
Look at her suffering!
Look at her fighting!
…..But you don't.
You can't see her.
No one can.
Except for the people,
Who no else can see.
The outcasts.
The misfits.
The freaks.
The forgotten.
The lost.
The hurt.
They all can see her.
Can you see me?
Because if you do,
You can see her too.
