I thought I knew
until i saw her
dancing through the beat
with standards i'll never meet

I thought I knew
until I heard her
singing like there's no tomorrow
so my voice sang with sorrow

I thought I knew
until she spoke
of poetic miseries
and of beautiful fantasies

I thought I knew
until I saw no one
No one
No one believed
in the girl who needs
encouraging words
to get back on her feet
No one
No one noticed
her broken wings
and heavy chains
of insecurity
No one
No one cared
to even ask
"Do you believe in yourself?"
for her answer is no
definitely no
and No one said
"I believe in you."
that's why she wrote this poem
discouraged girl
