Life

Yesterday was a day she didn’t want to live
She didn’t want breath 
She didn’t want to smile	
Thinking was out of the question
All she wanted was to cry and scream 
She spends today going through life
When she thinks about the life she lives, she declines
Her mind spins out of control 
Her smile fades quickly to hysterical tears
She loses it
Alone.
She swiftly declines to suicide
Contemplating, Death pending.  
All though so young, she feels as though she has done her time 
With the broken hearts becoming unbearable 
She wants her life to stop
However, she continues to breathe today
To again endure the pains  
As though they never happened
That beautiful smile holds an ugly secret
The truth will not be shared
