Through lashes thick with mascara 
 she watches them, those who never
 qute fit..
 inside she sadly smiles
 remembering a time 
 so long ago it's now history.
  
 A young girl shakes her hair
 free for the wind to play.
 She dreams for another life,
 a different place to be.
 Never seeing the wonder
 that surrounds her..the young
 are blinkered.
  
 Thia bar fills slowly
 as she twiddles her toes,
 wondering at the choice 
 of nail colour, soon 
 she'll stand up, 
 flex her shoulders, 
 straighten the straps
 of her little black dress,
 and walk
 to the two in the front row,
  
 invite them to buy her
 another drink 
 and if they refuse,
 which she doubts,
 no worries, there
 are plenty of bars...
