misunderstood she sits
She sits on the side of the building.
Leaning against the concrete.
She looks around to see if anyone notices she's there.

People are all around her yet she cannot seem to get anyone's attention.
She's tried to scream and cry.
She's tried to be polite.
She's tried everything she could think of.

No one seems to see her.
No one seems to care.
One lost soul out of the millions of souls that have been found.
None see her and none hear her.

Why does she not cry?
Her tears have all been shed.
She cannot cry another drop.
If you look her eyes and nose are a jumbled swollen red mess.
The tears are gone.

Why has she stopped trying to get everone's attention?
For days and days she has tried to get attention, no one seems to see her.
She's watched and waited for someone to come help her.
No one cares
