Such a Shame

Such A Shame
 
 
Nothing will ever be the same
 
 
A mind slowly going insane....
 
 
Nobody really sees or can know....
 
 
To the outside yet it doesn’t show....
 
 
A life filling more with darkness....
 
 
Feeling day after day only more hopelessness....
 
 
Soon the darkness will take over....
 
 
Leaving the body still in a coma....
 
 
Memories will be locked so deep inside....
 
 
She wont even be able to see family and friends at her side....
 
 
No more tears will fall from her eyes anymore....
 
 
A mind, heart, and soul now with a locked door....
 
 
A mouth now that stays silent....
 
 
Such a shame for she use to be flamboyant....
