Barely There

In a very large city stands a teenage girl

Barely there

not noticed by anyone but me

barely there

i can see why,she's not what i'd call pretty

barely there

i pull some people over towards me and ask if they see anyone

barely there

they say no and bid me goodday

barely there

i walk over to her and say hello

barely there

i look into her eyes and see

barely there

a shadow of my former self,a miniature me.

This was well written, that's for sure but there's one major problem with it. It deals far too much with teenage angst. It revolves around the topic a depressed, 16 year old girl would choose to write about. Nothing wrong with that, necessarily. It's just... hackneyed and has grown stale and stagnant. But, you display that familiar use of poetic connotation. Applause.
