Silence, Emptiness and Confusion
Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl
It feeds on loneliness and creates a void
Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture
A teenager is stricken and destroyed.
There is no sound of laughter or happiness here.
The little one has thrown in the towel today
Somber,
Melancholy moods decay the soul
It is futile to hope and dream and pray.
Emptiness builds a home in this women
In this girl,
This child where hollows have bred
A deepening sea of nowhereness consumes,
And eats away at every connecting thread.
Confusion feeds like a savage inside her,
Leaving nothing considered worthy remains
Destined to walk through life less ordinary
Alone,
Exiled,
Different and disdained.
