she

She
Lost in the sea of her own thoughts
She wonders if she’ll ever be able to live long enough
Long enough to tell the truth about her
Secrets, fear, and ambitions she’d kept from the whole world
She’d been rejected ones
Tears and pain were the only ones comforting her that time
Dark corners were her only sanctuary
Disappearing from reality was her only hope
There were times she wanted to put things into words
But instead she found a parchment left untouched
An empty page that has been mocking her
A few hours has passed, the empty page now revealed a secret
Not in language but in depiction
Done in black and red
Ink splattered on every corner
Not much of a master piece but it was finally done
Wanting to show the whole world how she felt
But still she was rejected
Shunned aside like she never existed
A shadow from walls was her only companion
She was hurt, neglected twice in her life
She wondered if she’ll ever do the same thing over again
The pain is inevitable but she wanted them to see
To see her, not in shadows but dressed in white that shines when the light hits it just right
The world turned cold on her
Leaving her alone with no one to comfort her
No one to see her dance in her beautiful dress
No one to hear her captivating voice
She did everything for the world
But in exchange she was left alone
To forever wonder the dark corners
Maybe she’ll find something else
A new world perhaps; a world that finally cares
But for the time being; she’ll continue to trek the cold grounds of an empty path
