Lost girl

Sitting crossed legged on a sea of pink
Head bowed, thick curls framing her face
Eyes tightly shut hands fisted on her knees
Shoulders shaking, moisture escaping
Phone screen open
No notifications
Screaming she throws it against the wall
A sob tears through her chest
She didn't want to be here anymore
Judged by friends and toyed with by foe
Left her feeling like disappearing
To a place where the voices couldn't get to her
Where she could be safe and know what it means to laugh
She didn't know who she was
She couldn't find her place
She needs a new home
Faraway from fear and pain
Nederland is home to lost girls like her
And lost girls like her are free
