She goes with the flow
Smiling and laughing,
She walks with the crowd
Slightly lost in her own little world.

Gazing to her sides
Startled by others confident force,
She continues her journey
Passing groups of ignorant mass.

Strolling down the road
Which awaits for her ahead unknown,
She throws a helping hand,
Friendly look and gentle smile for all in need,
Always thoughtful and kind,
Never forgetting to encourage uncertain to succeed.

She travels on, hoping deep inside that
Everything will turn out to be great.

Thus, one more day of travels came to end,
And her steps undertook her back home again,
Tired and worn she curled up in bed
Thinking about tomorrows voyage,
Gently stroking her little cat friend
She dives into ocean of starry dreams...
What do you think? Be honest :)

"What's wrong with you?"*

That **** question
Destroys me every
Time someone asks
For I have these words
Waltzing in my head
But they cant seem
To get the steps just right.
They keep tripping
Over twisted imagery
Crawling across
Wilted floor boards.
Splinters sewing
Themselves into
Anything they touch
Keeping every hope
Of an explanation
Tangled together
As nonsense.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

Suicide

I'm sorry I couldn't save you
I swear to you I tried.
I had no clue you were so broken
I wish you hadn't lied.
I knew one day you'd leave me
For the depression you couldn't hide.
You told me you had a solution
I just never thought it suicide.
