Consumed

She is consumed with herself, not in a good way either.
She is consumed by herself, by her thoughts and
by her past.

She has tried to forget it all, to drowned out the memories.
She has yet to be successful, to permanently make it
all disappear.

She is always overwhelmed, even when she chooses not to show it.
She actually works really hard to hide it, to keep it deep
inside of her self.

She cant seem to keep it inside now, it is starting to break through.
She is at a lose as to how to stop it, how to speak out and
how to get help.

She feel like a child, a child who has been repeatedly beaten down.
She has been beaten down, not just by herself but also
by others.

She is consumed with herself, not in a good way either.
She is consumed by herself, by her thoughts and
by her past...
