I saw a girl crying whilst reading a book,
but I knew the story wasn't sad
I saw a boy who always wore long sleeves,
even in summer
I saw a girl selling things on the street,
but she was seven
I saw a boy shivering in the corner of the room,
other 4 kids walking towards him
I saw a sad girl taking three pills at once,
but I don't think they were legal
I saw a boy on top of a 30 storey building,
looking down
I found a thin lonely leaf wandering aimlessly,
begging to be seen,
but I turned away.
