The girl walks over and talked to turned backs
She talked and talked with no response
Until she turned her back, did they talk
They talked and talked but she didn’t understand
While the girl in the front, watches
The girl looks over and catches her eye
She walked and walked until she got to her
They look at each other with no words spoken
Until the girl turned and walked away
While the girl in the front, watches
The girl tries her best for interaction
She tries her best for attention
But they talk to her with only two questions
“Where is…?” “How is…?”
She provides them with the answer and a smile
They walk away with nothing else to say
Without asking “How are you?”
The girl looks back over to the see girl in the front
She musters the courage and walks over
She confronts the girl in the front and ask for help
But the girl in the front says it’s not her fault
The girl looks at her, confused before they push her away
They all talk and talk and talk
The girl in the front responds with a smile
They talk and laugh without a problem
While the girl in the back, watches
