“Soul Alone”By: Hannah Baker

I meet your eyes You don’t even see meYou hardly respondWhen I whisperHelloCould be my soul mateTwo kindred spiritsMaybe we’re notI guess we’ll never Know

My own motherYou carried me in youNow you see nothingBut what I wearPeople ask youHow I am doing

You smile and nodDon’t let it endTherePut me Underneath God’s sky andKnow meDon’t just see me with your eyesTake awayThis mask of flesh and bone andSee meFor my soulAlonehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRXwT2LaqbA(Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher)
