do you know me as the girl who forgot to bring her id card / do you know me as the girl who was too stupid to tell an honest excuse / do you know me as the girl who won’t lift her eyes from the ground / do you know me as the girl who is trying to clear her throat in the washroom / do you know me as the girl who never removes her mask / do you know me as the girl whose grades have been falling lately / do you know me as the girl who always leans on the chain link fence / do you know me as the girl who turns up at the library every week / do you know me as the girl who races in the playground / do you know me as the girl who posts hopeful poems on instagram / do you know as the girl you’ve seen somewhere before, but never know from where / do you know as the girl you’ve never known?
