This is what I saw on tumblr:
It inspired me to write this. I wrote it in only an hour, so it's still only raw. Forgive me lol.
The World that Changed the Girl
Who is that girl,
who used to have light.
Once a simple child,
smiling so bright.
Such a simple thing,
a smile.
So it seems.
There is always the question,
if others really notice.
They’re so caught up,
in their own little world.
Me,
myself,
and I.
People walk by each other,
not looking anywhere,
but their destination.
What if they stopped, and breathed?
Would they see the hurt in their so-called friends eyes?
Would others see theirs?
Would they think of others,
for once?
Or would they still not care.
They do not realize,
it is this,
that dimmed the little girl.
As she grew, she saw the ugliness.
Those adults who were supposed to care,
who were supposed to be her example,
were not who she thought they were.
They smiled at her to make others,
think they cared.
But as soon as they were alone together,
they were cold.
So she grew like this.
And like everyone else,
she stopped seeing beauty,
in the world,
and in a simple smile.
