Untitled

I knew a girl that loved herself

Loved the person she was

Didn't care what people thought

Didn't care how she looked

She had her life planned out

Knew in her mind that she was going to be something one day

I wish her thoughts didn't destroy her

She started to change

Slowly

Stopped going out

Didn't want to go to school

Insecurities ruled her body

She had everyone by her side

But yet felt so alone

She wanted to end it

As she thought of ways to leave

She couldn't bring herself to do so

Family is what stopped her

The thought of her sister walking in the house & finding her body helpless

Scared her

She ended a relationship that was dear to her heart

Now she just feels trapped

Wishing for a way to get out

Screaming for help

No one can hear her

She looks around for a hand to grab

An ear that'll listen

Someone

Anyone

She just wants to get back to normal

She just doesn't want the darkness to win

She wants the old her back

She wants to be able to look in the mirror and loves what she sees

I want to be me
