A SIMPLE SMILE
by Stephanie Renee Wagner
She sits alone in the dark corner
no friends to tell her she's special
no family to tell her she's loved
Everyone walks right by her
pushing and shoving her everywhere
as if she's really not there
They talk about her all the time
even when she's right there
calling her names that only destroy her more
After school she goes to the only place she feels safe
a place where no one can hear her cries
a place where she can be free
No one gives her a chance
they judge her based on what they see
not caring who she really is
She doesn't understand why people won't take the time
the time to get to know her
and to understand who she really is
She decides to endure one more day
hoping and praying someone will treat her right
whether it's just a "hi" or a simple smile
While walking through the hall she sees a guy
and with one smile from him
she knows her life will be different.
