Unknown Girl

She wails and shrieks to get their attention
So they can watch her gloomy descension
And see her make the wrong decision
And see her stop the circulation

She thinks that she’s so sure
That what she’s doing is the cure
A way to make herself pure
With her mirror she confers

It’s her against this dirty existence
A chance for her is way past tense
She’s tired of humoring them at her expense
No one standing up in her defense

But this lump of coal was once a pearl
That shined its beauty upon the world
Now that beauty has been furled
And all that remains is an unknown girl
