she

She's expected to be strong,

She's expected to be the glue,

To the broken glass,

She's not expected to cry,

She's not expected to scream.

 

But in reality,

She's weak,

She's the broken glass,

She cries almost every night,

She holds in her screams,

But her mind is screaming.

 

She's expected to be nice,

By Almost every person she meets,

She's expected to be more than that,

She's expected not to be rude.

 

But in reality,

She's not as nice as much anymore,

She avoids people more than she should,

She's says she “okay” though,

just Not as she should

 

She's expected to be there for her friends,

She's expected to listen and give advice,

Not to complain or need advice,

To have the perfect life and relationships.

 

But in reality,

She's drifting away,

She listens, but not fully,

She needs to complain sometimes but never dose,

she is falling apart.

 

She's expected to have the perfect family,

No divorce, no lies, no backstabbing,

Nobody trying to hurt anyone,

No abuse, no fighting, no drugs

 

But in reality,

Her parents are divorced, her mom was beat,

sister ***** dad wants nothing to do with her,

her mom is married to someone new, who has more kids that is put over her, her mom was taken from her for a year and came back a completely different person, her mother steals, Her bio-father is a compulsive liar, her sisters put her down everyday, Her biological dad ***** her sister, He tried getting her mom to get rid her.

 

She's expected to be close to her sisters,

No fighting, no yelling, Glued to the hip,

Inseparable.

 

But in reality,

They fight constantly, She can't stand them,

They're the reason, Why she's so sad now,

 

She's expected to not cut, She's expected to not have scars,

Not to be depressed, Not to be addicted to such a wretched thing.

 

But in reality,

She's been cutting for years,

And was almost two years clean,

Because she wanted people to stop jugeding.

 

She has scars all around her thigh,

more on her wrist.

She's addicted to cutting, She's itching to,

But her mother doesn't think she is,

“If you really wanted to die you would be gone

You only do it because you want attention, and lashing out.”

That's what her mother says.

 

Little do they know,

That their perfect little girl

Is slipping away,

Soon, She'll will be gone, and they will miss her.

She will be expected to come back but she won’t.
