The joy of the cold truth
The white Walls seemed to sink in around her
Sparse and clinical and dazzling in their blandness
Ear drums thudding to a beat, as yet undetermined
She sat as the waves beat the grains of sand into the shore of her very being
A girl without purpose or reason
Just an animated cadaver to fill a space on the production line
Eyes baring the truth, seen by no other
Fists clenched in angst and longing
Wanton need pouring from her chest; brazenly seeking out solace
She was the girl that got sent by mistake
The accidental one, commuting to a world where she didn't belong
Her glazed blue peepers leading her into every cul-de-sac
And then back again
A spider with no web to return to
A misunderstood fragment of what might have been
If she had been a complete. A unit. A whole.
Rather than the forgotten jigsaw piece that slipped down into the dark
Rather than the abhorrent creature that the mirrors confirmed
She was the child that hid under the table when the comfort never came
A lost foghorn in the sea of never ending questions
And her mantra rings out, submergent in its urgency
Why did you send her world?
She wasn't needed here.
