They don't see
They don't see the storm that rips at her heart
They don't see the pills in her schoolbag
They don't see the utter misery in her eyes
They don't see the panic during the attack
The don't see the ripped pages at night
The don't see the determination at war with the missing motivation
Every day, the longest war rages
Only settled at night
They don't see her eyes scanning the clock
They don't hear her counting down the hours with dread
Until she walks through those school gates again
They don't see
Or they don't care
What does it matter
When the two go hand in hand
