Me
Nobody understands her or truly cares if she is alright
The signs are so obvious yet, nobody notices
She has given up and is refusing to fight
Not one person sees how drastically she has changed and that something is wrong
Silently she has been crying for help
But her cries have continued going unnoticed for far too long
Time passes her by and she stopped caring at all
Nothing seems to matter anymore
Hiding from the world staring at the wall
Nothing seems to make sense anymore
She transformed into a completely different person
Nothing like who she was before
Questioning herself and who she really is now
Desperate to find some hope
Yet, she doesn’t know how
Shattered hopes and crushed dreams fall on the floor
She no longer bothers to pick them up
She doesn’t have any reason anymore
Searching for a sign to regain her faith and return her smile
Unable to find her inner strength
Happiness has been a stranger and has been for a while
Words are scrambled making no sense at all
Trying to describe emotions inside herself
Unable to stand on her own she begins to stumble and fall
Her tongue gets tied with every attempted word
Constantly contradicting herself
Appearing absurd
A stranger to herself she no longer knows herself anymore
Nothing like what was believed
Nothing like who she had been before
Appearing completely different as if wearing new skin
Locking herself away from the world
And too afraid to allow anyone close enough to get in
Unsure of herself; she closes her eyes so that she can’t see
Blinding herself from reality
Hiding herself from me
