Best Poems Written by Laura Giles

State of Depression

Conflicted and smothered by lies
She and others have told
Ugliness bleeds out of the pores 
Of her meaningless soul

Instead of looking at something authentive
She only sees a monster who feasts upon fears
She's shamed by her true reflection 
Each time she gazes upon the mirror

She's been hiding inside her costume
Made of human flesh
Built by four walls of emptiness 
-Too strong to be broken, yet too delicate to even exist

Now, as she's sinking into a state of depression, 
She tries to fight and just hold on
But she's worried she's been living in her flesh
For far too long

Still, her whispers linger
In the winds of the chilling air 
That maybe -just maybe, 
Someday, someone might actually WANT to care!!!
