Useless

She had a burn in the crinkle of her right eye

Someone threw a cigarette out the window when she walked by

So she wore glasses with thick frames to hide her scar

She spends every night in a glass in the corner of a bar

To fix her would take only a needle and thread

But no one can see the end so they just leave her for dead

One morning she lay crucified on the sidewalk by the school

No one saw her or stepped over her, she is such a little fool

So they nabbed her in church and slipped her out the back

And stepped on every crack

Until she opened her mouth in agony and pain

When they shot her by the river they knew the bullet was in vain

She was already slain
