Survivor
You see her, that girl, walking down the hallway
You try to avoid eye contact with her
She is the girl who everyone wonders about
The girl who stays silent
The girl who hates being in crowds because everyone is always staring
And they all laugh and whisper
They never let her go a day without hearing snide remarks
They call her names and start rumors
But they don’t know what she has been through
If only they knew
I walk down the hallway, avoiding people’s stares
I hate when they call me names
I hate when they whisper about me
But soon I’ll be back home
And be in the comfort of my own room
Only to stumble by the mirror and see what they can see
My eyes gaze at the bruises everywhere that’s not covered
But that’s all they can see
But not all that I feel
If only they knew
If only they knew
Well now they do
That she isn’t hiding in the shadows anymore
If only they knew
That I am that girl and I am a survivor
