The dark circles that penetrate her face
Mask all illusion and disperse sadness
She is lost, confused in a maze
A maze that is full of madness

She can no longer laugh or smile
Surrounded by doubt and danger
A walk to school seems like a mile
When she looks in the mirror she sees a stranger

A stranger who is left to drown
She feels glares from every person
Every smirk she gets makes her fall down
She wants to run

Run from all the cruelty of the world
Escape the sadness and pain
Find hope because right now her heart is sold
Her eyes are silent and filled with rain

The rain is harmful
She can no longer see
Her face is dull
Her heart is no longer filled with glee

The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this piece was the situation that teens go through when they are faced with being bullied at school.The sadness that they are faced with every day and the loneliness of not having someone to talk to.I wanted to create a poem that teens could relate to.
