She walks without purpose through gum encrusted streets
Bags stuffed with memories; walking to her own beat
Long, lifeless blond hair conceals sad faded blue eyes
Clothes now long faded; head bowed as she silently cries
She avoids human contact, battling to contain her pain
Reality no longer exists; slowly she goes insane
Face devoid of emotion; thoughts hidden behind a mask
Her heartbreak and sorrow unknown; no one ever asked!
Trance like she roams the busy streets; to her no one is there
Silently she carries her burdens; are we really so unaware?
Like us her life was full of hope, those dreams never fulfilled
All who see her feel uneasy; can’t help but be chilled!
