Average JaneA Poem by Arabdhashe is the woman you see everyday..but never notice..She was the girl you would see through.. living her life in a closed box.. where from people like you refrain.. She was your average Jane.. She pulled her hair.. and tidied her gown.. ate a bowl of stew and donuts brown.. she was always there.. just that you never saw her.. She was your average Jane.. She dreamed of princes,castles and mountains.. Lived a world of witches and goblins.. She thought Narnia was a real place.. And hoped to go to Hogwarts some day.. You never noticed.. But she was always there.. To shed a silent tear.. When Sally dumped you for the guy next door.. And to sympathize with the underdog.. You were never there.. But oft she thought of you.. And wondered if you knew her name.. She walked the alleys and visited deserted houses.. Thought of what could have been.. Had things not ended the way they had.. Her world was sad.. But she didn’t mind.. Her life was perfect.. Reality she had left behind.. She was your average Jane.. She breathed and hoped.. Wished and lived.. Years went by.. and she still walked the deserted lanes.. she was old and haggard.. Then one day she fell ill and died.. Her story had come to an end.. You didn’t notice she was gone.. Never even bothered to pay your respect.. Not that she would have held a grudge.. But you know ,you should have gone.. I heard she had a sad funeral.. Attended by a few.. Lone she was.. Even in death.. You didn’t see it.. But her tombstone read- “Rebecca Meyers.. Always there,forever invisible..” She was your average Jane.. © 2011 ArabdhaAuthor's Note
