i sit in the back
a girl in the crowd
nothing special
brilliant and shy
lost in the back
in a dimly lit room
wishing for her chance
hoping for the time
risking everything
just to be there
nothing comes
and nothing goes
silence
pain and disappointment
home to room
as dimly lit as the one prior
as lonely as the one
previously filled with people
awaiting that time
when she will shine
all she searches for now
in a shoulder to lay her head
and let the tears slip
someone to hold tight
who will care for her while she cries
to make the days brighter
and fill that empty room with joy
no more disappointment
to be found within its walls
still she waits
for her dreams to be awakened
to lay her head
on his shoulder and cry
not out of despair
but from the joy
of not being alone
no longer alone in the crowd.
