in a town of darkness
she shivers and shudders in fear
afraid that the monsters lurking within her
would keep her captive
and she would never be able to taste
happiness
again

she never knew she was able to breakfree
of the chains holding her back
until one day
the world gave up completely
on her and she realised that she could fly

she gazed at the dazzling stars
and wondered if she could be one of them
burning in the day
sparkling at night

bringing light to others

tell me why am I so weak hearted when I hear your voice ringing in my eardrums
tell me why am I so easily brought down to dust when you rattle off criticisms

I am
tired
of
this world
because I can't conform to changes as fast as you do.
I'm a little girl, wondering on the endless road of life, still searching every nook and cranny for hopes and dreams.
with a net in hand and a broken pendant in the other--- I crushed the unicorn pendant you gave me
I was mad at myself for being slow

I know you want to hold my hand and walk this road with me
but my hands are full of messed up things
give me time
let me run a curved path of life
to find my way
back to you

a slit I promise
soon it becomes a deep cut
blades of the menacing knife pierces through the cold skin
blood oozes

you wish your grief would be gone with the pain but it lasts temporarily

take her away
let go of the strings attached to her wings
shes suffocating
let her soar like eagles in the sky
hovering over the work of art round and round
that's the taste of freedom
that's her everything

you shrivel in fear
afraid of the bleak future that lies ahead of you
every day you await for death
but life lurks around you
and keeps you from jumping off the building

you were given hope yet you wished hope would be with someone else
death is all you're looking forward to
death brings you hope
in a strange way
no one understands

she hates herself for her numerous flaws
she hates herself for always tearing up
she hates herself for being weak and pale
she hates herself because she    lost herself
