Spirits

Her spirit lingers in the halls

I feel her presence, a chill creeps down my spine

I know she is dead, but deep inside she's not

The space inside me where she was, now sits empty

Gone from the world, motionless body, screaming from the dead

A change in my joyous spirit

She is me

She's my soul that died when I was bullied, taunted, wished away

No longer soft

A hard shell buries who I was

It buries my soft side

Buries my soul
