She looks all around her,
captivated by bursts of color
of every size,
shape,
wishing she was one of them.

For people find
beauty
in flowers,
and that's all she wants.

day,
sun warms my body
laughter fills my mouth
to paint the picture of
happiness

night,
shadows creep closer
music fills my ears
i try to drown my thoughts of
uselessness

which me is alive?

words.
whispered through cracked lips
to break the sound
of tears drip drip dripping down

words.
shouted amidst the hum
to differentiate
from the life living around you

words.
evenly and thoughtfully strung together
to cover up everything
that eats you alive at night

words
overused
useless
words
