Inner and Outer

She sits in the corner

Glaring at the room

“Leave me alone!”

“Please notice me...”

Their eyes avoid
her's

Wishing she
wouldn't exist

“I don't
need a friend!”

“I'm so lonely.”

Hating her,
ignoring her

Avoiding her, and
hurting her

“I'm not
the freak here!”

“Whats wrong with me?”

A rude comment

A sarcastic retort

“I'm not
stupid!”

“I'm sorry...for being this
way.”

The school day ends

She walks home

“Finally.”

“I never
want to go back.”

Entering an empty
house

She slumps against
her bedroom wall

“I'm fine,
I'm okay.”

“I'm breaking.”

A single tear

Trails down her
cheek

“I'm
perfectly fine! I DON'T NEED HELP!”

“I'm loosing
my grip, I'm loosing myself. I'm scared.”

Shaking hands reach
up

Tugging at her hair

“I'm
okay.”

“I'm just dying inside.”

A choked up sound

A strangled sob

“What did I do to deserve
this?”
