Happy or Help?
We reach for it but don’t touch it,
They ask us what we need to get It,
We look at it but don’t see it,
It sits there like an open box
Just staring,
Waiting,
I watch it go by
Without a sound,
Without a voice,
Without a look that says hi.
It leaves and I’m stuck in the corner
Crying
Waiting
For something to happen
Nothing does and now I’m just a girl sitting in the corner
Crying for help
