Do you hear that snapping and cracking? That's the sound of the world finally getting to be too much for her tiny shoulders to hold up. So many people can pass by thinking they know her yet none of them stops and offers to help her with the load she's bearing. They think she can handle her world on her own plus help them with theirs when it gets even the tiniest crack in it. People look at her like she's just another teenage girl dealing with the stereotypical problems shown in the movies. Thinking all she has to worry about is if she's skinny or pretty enough. Not knowing the scars she hides. Not knowing her past or even her present. They can't see the rain hidden behind her fake backdrop of a sun shinning brighter than ever thought possible. To 99% of the onlookers she's happy. Yet to the 1% of the people who truly know her, they can tell she's on the edge with one foot off. Hanging from a series of threads being cut one by one. Each cut could be the last. All it takes is on slice in the wrong spot or at the wrong depth and down she'll plummet right into the grave the people too busy to read her eyes have dug for her. People come and people go but in her eyes they all leave one thing behind. They leave their knives sticking out not only of her back but also her heart. She'll let anyone into her life but only the lucky ones get to see inside her heart. She can't understand why no body seems to be there when she needs them. All she knows is she needs help but is completely unaware of how to get it. So she sits and calls out to anyone and everyone. Hoping and praying that maybe just one of them will stop and help. Maybe even care for once. Instead of get what they want and bail. Boulders are crashing down all around her while her arms are dropping lower and lower every second she stands alone. Her world is disappearing right in front of her eyes and she has no idea how to fix it. Soon it'll be nothing but the dirt and stones they will use to cover her broken armed and souled body. Her voice is fading and soon no matter how loud she yells nothing will come out. She will be at peace and will no longer be able to hurt herself. Soon it will be over. Soon everyone will realize just how broken her world really was.
