The Voice of the Girl with All The Answers

You never seem to see.

Attention is what she rarely gets.

Because ignoring is just easier.

Easier than watching her cry.

Easier than watching her die.

A little bit each day.

You never pull her aside.

You never seem to notice why.

But you could have stopid it.

You could have helped.

 

It's too late now.

Why'd you call now?

Feel guilty for not seeing it now?

Feel pain for seeing me now?

It's the voice that you hear now?

My voice is what you hear now?

I guess, I'm haunting you now.

I guess, it all makes sense now.

 

Because you could have seen.

But I know you heard.

So I did what I thought was best.

And left.

I had all the answers.

But now most people don't hear them.

You should have paid attention.

Teachers like you never pay attention.
