Do you see, in the corner of the room,
that kid gazing out the window,
there eyes listless and their hearts
determined to give up?
Do you see that pale girl,
who shrouds her feelings
in a thick layer of mascara
and so many cuts upon her arm?
Do you see that chubby guy,
who has weed in his pocket
and Big Macs in his stomach,
as he sits on the curb?
And what about the quiet kid,
who loses themself in books
to escape their dad's yells
and their mom's bruises
and the wrath of bullies?
Do you see the thoughts
swirling in their head?
The escape plans?
If you do, do you say
anything?
Try.
