Sad Girl

Do you recall the sad girl?
The sad girl that sat there?
The seat in the back?
All alone in the back of the class?
She's not there now.
She's not anywhere.
She has drowned in her tears.
And nobody noticed.
Nobody cared.
She never talked.
Just kept her pain to herself.
Kept her world to herself.
Her painful little world.
Did you know her story?
Did she tell you why
She came to school with that jacket on?
Even in the summer.
Jsut like in the fall.
Did you see her bruises?
Did you see her hurt?
Did you see her crying?
Did you see her sighing?
She had no one.
And now no one has her.
I've heard she doesn't hurt now.
I've heard there's no more tears.
I guess she's happy there.
But why not down here?
Ask her mother and father
They will tell you why.
When they finished beating her
She hung her head and died.
