Nobody is looking at
the Goth girl nextdoor,
She’s living in the shadows
away from the light, for the
light burns her skin.
Nobody is looking at
the Goth girl nextdoor,
Who once wished to be normal
behind the closed curtain’s.
Nobody sees the pain I’m in,
for my pain is underneath my skin.
Nobody nows the struggle I bare,
my unique condition bares it all
for you to witness.
Nobody is looking at
the Goth girl nextdoor,
as I bare witness to all
you share.
Behind my screen and darkened home
my passions reveal it all line by line.
My walls fall only at night,
undercover of the stars is where
I roam and take flight.
Nobody is looking at
the Goth girl nextdoor,
I am comfortable in my
shadow cool and collected.

Nobody is looking at
