She never knew how to look the other way
Taking what she could
They talked about her often

Beautiful girl

The rumors quickly spread
Who's she going home with?
That's all she ever was to them

Beautiful girl

She cried herself to sleep
Pain is her escape
No one saw her through this

Beautiful girl

She feels so ugly
Misguided and corrupt
Used and abused, they never cared

Beautiful girl

They tell her lies
To make her smile
She has a gorgeous smile

Beautiful girl

She can't take it anymore
She tells them this
And still they talk amongst themselves

Beautiful girl

She falls apart
Bleeds it out
Until she stops breathing

Beautiful girl

Whered she go?
You did this to her

Beautiful girl

She was me

How sad it seems this is widespread this type of story there are so many desperate people that never get listened to
I like this poem it's very cleverly written and wonderfully penned...

Emily - sometimes the most beautiful girl isn't the most beautiful from what I've seen. Beauty comes from within in my opinion. Nice write...
