Frequently
she forgot about herself
the things she needed
barely even occurred to her
Instead of herself
she remembered
for other people
and there needs
it's as if
she didn't matter to herself
at all

When she felt
she felt strongly
those emotions
and feelings
tightly wound
cut the wrong cord
and her whole world
will shake

She just wished
that she could fly
she could just
grow wings
and soar high
above her problems
and her life
fly away to
a place that
took her away

When she danced
it was as if
fairies sparkled
all around her
and there was this glow
about her face
To him
it just made her
irresistible

she swallowed her sadness
she told herself
that it was her fault
so why was she sad
it was her own doing
so why was she sad

She wore red
so that
she could lead him
so that
he could
always see her
his protector

it seemed like
everyday
the sadness
overwhelmed her
so much
so often
that she couldnt
even describe
the feeling
all she knew
was that
she was sad

Why is it that
being childish
is always discouraged
why can't people
embrace
the child inside them
why can't people
just see the magic
around them
like a child does
why can't people
love a the
little things of this world

When she looked
at her reflection
all she could do
was poke and ****
pick apart her
Beauty
she couldn't help
but stare
at the vast
imperfections
to her
the beauty was hidden
beneath a mask
of doubts
and anxiety

Sometimes
all of the
anxiety
stress
anger and
sadness
builds up
On those days
she let the
tears
overwhelm her
