The Girl In The Background

Her words are lost, they're silenced by the ignorance
Of the people who don't know her, people that pass her by.
Every living moment she dreams of acceptance,
But her hope grows weaker no matter how hard she may try.

Whenever you walk past her, all you do is stare,
You never even think about how she fells, what she dreams.
But every time you stare, her heart begins to tear.
She may not shout out loud but inside her shell she screams.

Like a tree without any roots, she cannot grow.
Not because she doesn't want to, because she simply can't.
All she needs is care and love so that she can show
The things she can accomplish, not the things she can't.

Different is said to be good, but all it does is hurt,
Hurt and bury her soul deeper until her breath grows short.
She hides so she can cry, because she feels like dirt.
Just give her some attention, just give her some support.

She lives in a small world where the sky is not blue.
Her whole life passes her by as an unimportant blur.
All she wants is someone she can open up to.
The only friend she has is the lonely soul inside her,
For she is the girl in the background.
