She grows cold in the night,
laying still.
Attempting to warm herself,
escape the chill.
Covering herself in sadness,
draping her mind with guilt.
Fear surrounds her hopeless soul,
quilted in misery she attempts to flee.
Drowning in the darkness, gasping for truth,
A girl marked by shallow dreams, painful memories,
permanent scars line her fragile body,
never to disappear.
Her self-destructive punishment for all her disappointments
She is bound by her many failures,
so it seems she will never be free.
A captive, leading herself to her own demise,
she’d bleed to live once again,
to call herself whole.
She has put herself to trial,
sent herself to prison,
where her freedom to be complete,
to be content,
has been taken away.
She put up no fight,
Gave up her bright façade,
to her mind that filled her with feelings of fault.
She is locked inside,
never to escape her self inflicted pain.
Under her many cloaks of feelings,
She is left to dwell in her own heartbreaking misery.
