Inside

For the first time in a long time, she broke down into tears.
They were for all the sadness that she kept inside for years.
It started out quiet, then grew till they couldn't stop.
They just kept flowing down her face, salty, wet, and hot.
She was known as unbreakable, but inside she was frail,
and everyday she braved the gossip and let the insults hail.
Her back against the wall with no strength left to fight.
No where left to go, no one to make things right.
Her smile hides her pain as she covers up the fear,
inside her soul she was drowning in all her unshed tears.
She leans up against the bedroom was as her will began to slip,
finally the world goes quiet as the knife begins to slit.
And tomorrow no one will notice the cuts all on her wrists.
They pay her no attention because to them she doesn't exists.

Dark was her journey, not sure what she's worth,
Constant yet silent tears she cried, not sure what could be worse
Here with a world of remorse.
But what is apparent with each slice she make?
Am she closer to freedom or death by mistake?
Long drops the pain, she knows she will be done,
but only when her kingdom comes.
She know that she shouldn't, but these voices just won't stop.
Breathing quickens, eyes cloud, blood rushes quick and hot.
Overcome with the feeling of darkness, overcome with relief,
I put myself together slowly piece by piece.
