I knew a girl
with no eyes,
No way to
see the good within others,
No way to
see the wonder of herself.
I knew a girl
with no ears,
No way to
hear the lies,
No way to
understand the truth.
I knew a girl
with no voice,
No way to
express her feelings,
No way to
speak her mind.
I knew a girl
with no hands,
Always trying
to help
But the stumps
on the ends of her arms always kept getting in the way.
I knew a girl
with no heart,
No feelings,
no emotions,
No way to
feel how others feel.
I didn't want to know her any more.
I picked up
the mirror
And threw
it to the ground.
