Whispers in the Hallway
Did you see her,
Once flat belly stick out
Proof of her after school meanderings?
Shame-faced
Wearing baggy clothes
Trying to hide her obvious truth.
They murmur,
Making pride impossible
Her mistake is her condemnation.
Who cares
That the gossip whores
Make the same mistake night after night?
Her once flat belly
Makes her worth nothing
in the eyes of the world forcing sleepless nights.
Full of questions
While he sleeps
Unscathed by the whispers in the hall.
