Eyes upon her
Eyes beyond her
Eyes open her
Eyes don’t see her
Fingers touch her
Fingers feel her
Hands caress her
But can’t heal her


Everybody left her lonely
Privileges gone like candy
Painting herself, eyes in white chalk
Mouth restricted from all small talk

Advance warning didn’t apply
Locked in sin as hell’s days went by
Strapped to herself and her mirror
Her reflection couldn’t stand her


Locked doors inside held her safely
Hadn’t seen the devil lately
Fingernails scraping the floor
Acting out so she could feel more

Begging for a locked seclusion
Etiquette lost in confusion
Quarantined for loss of control
Maintained misery for her soul


Eyes upon her
Eyes beyond her
Eyes open her
Eyes don’t see her
Fingers touch her
Fingers feel her
Hands caress her
But can’t heal her


The real purpose of the steel doors
Is security from self wars
And though she was never allowed
Still she infiltrated the crowd

Made her omnipresence noticed
Tweaked life’s lenses out of focus
Just to make her world safe and sound
Sat and laughed as others fell down

Tired of life sprawled out on the floor
Yes, abuse was hard to ignore
Life checks every fifteen minutes
Same time, same room, same indifference

Still.........
