She stands there
Like theres no reason to do anything
No reason for warmth or acknowledgement

She stands there
Looking like she wants to be nowhere
And no one knows what she really thinks

She stands there
Like she wants to face nothing and no one
And by being so obvious
Shes hiding herself away

She stands there
Her soul is crying in despair
Her heart is screaming
Screaming for love she fears to receive

She stands there
A symbol of lifes futilities
Against a storm of convention
And even though yesterday cages her

She stands.
