I Am The Shadow Girl

She is the girl that you first see,
The diamond in the room.
She is the one that everyone knows,
Attention is her perfume.

She is the girl that morphs herself
Into ugly, raging lies.
She is the one that makes you fall
Without a chance to compromise.

And still, she is the girl that has it all,
The one that you prefer.
She is the one that bribes you
Before she skins you of your fur.

And there, deep in the shadows,
Awaits another of her kind.
But this girl is not the same,
As she has a purer mind.

Here, I am the girl that nobody sees,
The one that dreams and knows.
I am the one that can distinguish
Between my friends and foes.

I am the girl that you skip past,
Because I am not worth your time.
I am the one that waits for the day
That you'll consider me your prime.

Forever, I am the girl that hides away
Behind pencils and books.
I am the one that nobody sees,
Because in the shadows, no one thinks to look.
