Just another summer afternoon,
Left home alone,
Nothing else to do.
Why not walk downtown and visit my family?
3 miles I go, down a crowded avenue,
Speeding cars hurling by,
Hoots and howlers;
Thankful no one stops to bother me.
I'm so lonely being free,
Walking next to everything ugly:
Burned out houses, shattered glass, scattered debris
Parking lots overgrown with weeds.
No one would ever find me.
Just another summer afternoon,
Left home alone,
Nothing else to do.
Why not walk downtown
Visit my family?
Hot sun bearing down on my shoulders;
I cannot feel anything I am numb,
Too many pains build up,
Nothing gets to me.
I am no longer pretty to me.
Just an empty girl.
No one would ever find me.
