An ordinary girl.
Rushes down the hallway.
Invisible, scared, and alone.
Her eyes are cast down.
As she shrinks into the background.
Afraid to be noticed.
Hoping that she can just get through the day.
She has created a barrier around herself to mask the pain.
Poisoned whispers follow her trail.
She puts on a brave face,
And wishes to disappear.
Her beauty is screaming from within.
"You are worthy."
But she continues to relish in her flaws.
As a stain on the world.
She attempts to reach out,
But is rejected and despised.
She contains the pain once again.
Hiding it beneath her solitude.
The days continue.
There are no more tears.
A beautiful darkness spreads within.
She no longer cares.
Today is the day.
A sense of elation begins.
She has made peace with her demons,
And has embraced her shame.
She is ready.
The metal is cold on her skin.
The blade makes its mark.
It slides across her soul.
She sighs and she laughs,
At the bright red pool forming on the floor.
She sees the rain shine through the dark.
And life's hopeless journey to the unknown begins.
Another ordinary girl is lost...
