• Everyone ignores her.
    They never look her way.
    She cries alone.
    It's dark-- she's scared.
    And her days begin to fade.

    She sits away from all the others,
    Isolated out.
    So when that boy sat next to her,
    she expected him to shout.

    Flashbacks from the night before,
    filled her tiny head
    As all the slaps kept coming--
    All those slaps she dread.

    But the words he spoke were different.
    Words she never heard.
    "I love You" echoed through her ears...
    At last... some words don't hurt.
