An average girl
never enough
simultaneously all too much.

Hidden away in her nightmares.
Reaching for the halo in her dreams.
always falling short
drowning in expectations

Water fills her lungs,
controlling every reluctant breath.
Accompanied by panic
and held by the throat with fear
She never countered.

Pain comes and goes;
Joyous moments
Tearful situation.
Never rising above
ready to sink below: Floating.

Expressionless,
Just passing through the waves.
Pain morphs into numbness.
letting go becomes easier.
Detachment is emotionless.
Just an average girl: **Gone.
