Think

time flies like a startled bird
as quickly as it can.

while tree branches twist and twirl 
In the eddies of the wind.

the world spins ever faster 
on it's invisible axle 

and nobody stops to think 
they just let their mindless feet

carry them faster and faster,
past her

the lonely girl with the raven black hair
in the body invisible

while her mind reels
with thoughts unpredictable

they taunt and tease
harm and hurt her

tell her that she's worthless
with evil smirks and ruthless chuckles 

she ponders the unthinkable 
wondering if that choice is better  

than staying here 
an emotional beggar 

looking for what no one wants to give 
searching for the thing that keeps itself hidden 

she thinks it might be easier 
to leave behind her burden 

and let go of everything
loosen her grasp on that icy handle

and let herself fall 
towards that raging river.

think on this 
please think hard

what you do and say
affects everyone 

including those you never stop to see or hear 
just because you don't see something
doesn't mean it's not there. 

just like the girl, with the raven black hair.
