I feel so alone. 
 
Broken. 
 
Constantly removed from all that's shown. 
 
Solitary. Confined. 
 
My words go unspoken. 
 
Unheard. Quiet. Shy. 
 
But no one ever broke in. 
 
Ignored. Rude. Ugly. Stupid. 
 
I'm not that girl. 
 
Fragile. Violated. Tortured. Pained. Lonely. 
 
The one you see. 
 
Recovering. 
 
The one you make me be. 
 
Loved. Free. 
 
I'm the one I'm learning to become. 
 
Cheerful. Positive. Sad. 
 
But I remember what you've done. 
 
Beautiful. Smart. Friendly. Befriended. 
 
I forgive you. 
 
Happy. Weightless. Confident. Peaceful. Whole.
