Waiting

She sits there

Almost like she's waiting for something

People pass by

Their attention is drawn towards her

She can feel the judgment in their eyes

Although she never looks up.

She's a loner.

An outcast.

Not many are willing to be caught with her

But she doesn't know any different

She remains content

On the outside.

But on the inside

She is actually waiting

Waiting for somebody, anybody, to give her a chance

On the inside she screams

She is dying to show who she can really be

Somebody

Give her a chance

On the inside

She cries everyday

Feeling as if she cannot escape the pain

Needing one person to give her a chance

On the outside

She smiles

She waves

She refuses to show the pain.

This is amazing! I love the lines "Their attention is drawn towards her ... although she never looks up." The repetition of "on the inside" and the contrast to her "on the outside" is an great show of voice. Absolutely a great piece.

Great poem and great detail... a lot of people have to bury and hide the way they really feel because we don't want people to know our pain by simply looking our way. I understand how you feel... you have so much love to offer... so much passion in your heart and just waiting for the chance to prove that. You did an awesome job expressing that passion... your day will come :)
