For no apparent reason
Is crying inconsolably
Her teacher tries to calm her
But with little success
So then she turns
To another child
Who she says is always good humoured
And asks could she cheer up the sad girl
Who does in fact steady herself
But fails to allow a smile
Which ought to be the natural reaction
To her friends expression of fun
And joy and willingness to care
For the deeply distraught youngster
How deep is her hurt
Where does the pain arrive from
How many years before she is released
