“She hung herself
Because she wasn’t strong enough”.
But do you know how
Every day was a loosing battle with her own mind,
Screaming at the monsters,
Begging them to let go
As their cruel grip tightened with each shriek.
Do you know how
Bloodcurdling screams of rage from the past
Echoed in her restless mind
Every time she smiled for a picture,
Staining her innocence
And feeding her guilt.
Do you know how
She flinched each time a voice was raised
Because she was scared that one day
It will come back,
And she will be the prey.
Do you know how
She not only lifted up her own world,
But someone else’s too?
Someone who suffered far worse
So she had to put on a mask
To face her other half.
Do you know how
She chose to be trapped
In her unspoken truths
To save another life
That deserved to be helped,
Unlike her nothingness.
Do you know how
The pressure of it all
Tore her rusted heart apart
Yet she pushed through and through
Until there was a dark wall.
Do you know how
She died out of love
Because she promised
Forever and always
And she meant it.
