are you okay...
i'm walking down the long hall, after a long day
a girl quite a few inches taller than me,
hears my voice and turns to see
she looks to be about my age,
but something in her eyes doesn't want to engage
she looks empty and hurt,
like a voice battling to let it all out in a blurt
the tears down her face,
i can't help but wonder where their origins trace
so i go to the step and sit down,
so maybe, despite there being no water, she won't drown

This was inspired by one of my follower's poetry that I read. I hope she is able to find solace in life someday. I don't know her, haven't interacted with her, and she live's halfway across the country. But, I can tell she need's more friends and help and I wish that for her. <3
