Mentally Drowning

She cried her heart out in the shower this morning 
Desperate, anguishing tears
Uncontrollable, convulsing sobs

Anxiety within was strangling her
Clenching and crippling
Incarcerating her into a frozen-like state

All the while
No one heard her cries
No one shared her suffering

No one knew how defeated she felt
How crumpled her courage was
How convoluted her coping skills had become
How much it was consuming her

Porcelain contours cradled her body as she wailed 
Powerlessly...
Fearfully...
and...
Alone
