She smiles.
Her mouth is full of lies
So full no words of truth spill out
Just untruths in their place

She listens, with a snake in her heart
To the laughter in the room next door
Idly crossing arms and legs
So nothing comes undone

Fire breathes down her throat,
Poison in her lungs
Watch as they all shrink from her
And what she has become

Reddened hands cover porcelain handle
Lock slides into place.
Watch her as she slides to the cold and white
Tiles of her prison

Watch her, choking back a scream
and choking on her lunch
Tears leave no trace of broken eyes
And hair will hide her face with shame

She holds her broken chest, holds tight.
The lava flowing from her heart
Red-hot liquid burns her veins
And sets her skin alight.

Watch her as she looks at me
Her touch, it burns my hand
Eyes
Watching,
Hating.
They look at me
They beg. They want me to understand

“I never meant to be like this”

Sparks of hate and tears of loss
These eyes, now they’re telling truths
They crack the mirror, right in half
My body now broken to shards

Mouth opened wide,
But then I close it.
Nothing she can say
Will make a difference, anymore


- I know I haven't posted in here before. I really look forward to reading and *meeting* everyone here.

Totally agree! Nice poem, loads of emotion. A few lines were a bit off. But I still enjoyed. I sure hope it's not about you, and if it is that you will find help. Email me if you ever need to talk.

Smiles,

hunnie_girl and Juju: thanks so much for taking to the time to read and respond. And for the welcome. i figure, as a teen, lurking in this forum seemed fitting.
