In Her Own WorldA Poem by Rachel
She's lost in her own world
She's physically here, but her mind travels elsewhere When she stares into space, she sees a whole other world far away from this one She's stuck, buckled in on a redundant cycle She's like an elastic band, she stretches out But when she goes to far she snaps right back to where she was before She's ambitious, but scared of failing She'd like to think she's courageous But she's hesitant to be honest She's emotional, her heart bleeds in empathy She's small and youthful Yet tired and scarred Purple shadows swept upon her cheeks But her eyes are usually too bright to notice the dark shades on her face Her smile is sweet and gentle She laughs like an innocent child She's clever and witty For her time in silence is only for sake of ensuring she says something meaningful She's insecure at times But when she's confident, she's a whole other being For that's when she's in this world Our world Her eye's become brighter Her smile fuller and more natural Her tone genuine and eloquent as the mumbling and stuttering disappears Instead of staring off into the distance Her blue eyes will meet yours And her face beams of sunlight Her laugh becomes less like a child's and more like the wind So be careful, she's been known to evaporate into think air Into her own little world far far away from this one Infact she's there right now
