Stop and Listen

She hides behind the shadows

No one notices her

She has no friends

She walks with for head down 

as if she's ashamed of herself

She watches the leaves fade to brown

Rain slowly changing into snow

as it hits the pavement like glass shattering

She looks all around as the snow starts to pile up

The sun hides its face behind the clouds

And the birds hide from the clouds

She listens carefully to the wind

as it hums a death march

Darkness coils around her

A stream that seems so fragile flows with rage

Crashing every rock that steps in its path

She falls to the ground 

Feeling a drop slide down her cheek

Pretty good.
