Falling Behind
these are the words that were left behind
the thoughts
the dreams
the tears that she cried
lost to a world of malice and pain
where the lies
and the truth
are all said and done in vain
no one cares as they watch her walk by
as she runs
and she jumps
and her wings take her high
but the glares and the taunts are like a wind so fierce
pushing her back
holding her near
too much stronger are the eyes than the girl that they pierce
pushed down, and down, she screams to the stars
wanting to escape
but wishing to belong
to a world who constantly lifts her up, just to watch her fall
