delusional

I never thought someone

A girl at the age of 16

Could be filled with so much sadness

Her blood type "D" which stands for depression

Eyes that are bloodshot

Eyes that are filled with a lot of regret

Eyes that has lost hope in everything

Eyes with crushed dreams

Her eyes are so beautiful that used to be filled with happiness

Her eyes heavier than the baggage she carries

But her thoughts are heavier

But she makes an excuse saying she's fine

But she can't escape the thoughts she has on her mind

She smiles away her pain

No one knows that nothing can keep her sane

And she tries

She tries so hard

But she can't go back

Can't go back to who she was before

 

She had lost her innocence

She lost her innocence when her own father asked her to try & lit a cigarette on her own

And she did

She smoked away her problems

She lost her innocence when skipping one class wasn't such a big deal until it became a habit of doing it everyday

She lost her innocence when the positive attitude she had in life got poisoned by the negative thoughts that her ex best friend had & so it rubbed off on her & now all she got is this negative mentality

For every time she breathes, she breathes in the pessimistic air that had consumed her lungs & gotten to her brain

She lost her innocence when she let herself got attached to people, only for them to walk away

She lost her innocence when taking pills were the only thing that could make her happy

She lost her innocence when she puts her guard down, only for her heart to get broken

She lost her innocence when she let herself fall deeply

She lost her innocence when she tried to fix someone else, that led her to self destruction

She lost her innocence when she first tried alcohol to forget about him, and ***** tasted the same as his lips, tasted like an addiction, habit, and full of regret

She lost her innocence when she first had drugs and it tasted like things were finally going back to normal for once in her life

She lost her innocence when she sent pictures of her body to a boy, to make herself feel better by the compliments he told her

She lost her innocence when she gave everything to him & she let him touch the other parts of her body, to keep him satisfied, happy, & so that he wouldn't leave her

She lost her innocence when she broke her own rules just for him

 

But she was long gone

Physically alive, but mentally dead

Everything falling apart all at once

Crashing down on her & a person can only take so much pain

And she didn't know what to do & how to make it stop

She didn't know how to stop loving someone who didn't love her anymore

She didn't know how to make her parents stop yelling & fighting from the unpaid bills & she couldn't make her father stop smoking to stop spending all the money on cigarettes, while her mother does all the job

She didn't know how to deal with a goodbye she never got

She didn't know that within a year she could lose someone that meant the world to her

She didn't know that she lost herself too, that a person was able to take her heart & happiness with them

She didn't know that you could meet the love of your life, but doesn't mean you end up with them

She didn't know until now that she was never good enough & is easily replaced

She didn't know she'd be awake in the middle of the night at 16, missing someone that she gave everything to, only to have her efforts wasted

She didn't know that saying "I'm fine" could make others believe her & they did, when she really wasn't

 

It never occurred to me

An inflicted pain could cause this much damage to one individual

That one person has this much impact to another

That they could have this much power to make you feel like this

That these things could actually happen to her

That her so called best friend would turn back on her & make her feel worthless

That her own parents were fed up & tired of her behavior & eventually she started to believe to the things they made her feel

That no matter how hard she tries

It just won't be the same anymore
