her insecurities strangle her.
always afraid of disappointing someone else.
when she could never see her perfection.

everything she wants, unreachable.
her life forcing her to bend & break.
broken, there she lies.

a single heartbeat.
the only thing keeping her alive.
she tries to get a grasp on the rest of her life.

the mystery.
of where things will be tomorrow.
taunt her mind constantly.

finally, when happiness is found.
the concern of it all ending.
again, taunts her.

all things that are beautiful.
are held inside her.
oblivious to what she possesses.

the love she refuses to receive.
could save her life.
but she doesn’t believe anyone could love her.
