The Forgotten
She's a wallpaper kid, no one notices her
Walking the halls, head bowed
What they don't know about is her soul inside
The colors of the rainbow within one heart
Did you pause to think about the torture she must feel?
The loneliness at having no one to cry to
No one wants to know her
Just another kid, scampering to her next class
She comes home after school to a tiny house
An average family, two girls and a boy
Toddler's crying, she's got to watch him
Parents don't care if she wants to write, to sing
Little sister is yelling, wants a bigger allowance
No one notices the girl slipping out
Running to the trickling stream, she steps into the flow
Her tears join the crystal water
The Forgotten.
