To Fly.

Cigarettes

Coffee breath

Taking time to fix her mess

Sloppy hair

And smudged makeup

Shaking hands

And ragged breaths

Bloody knuckles

Bruised knees

Pale skin and smooth cheeks

Smoke flowing from her nose

High

High on her pain

Trying to make it go away

Anger rages

Feeling faded

Sitting in the dark

Counting her scars

The throb in her head never ceases

Everyone is too blind to see it

She's dying inside

She can't believe it

They think she has all these great achievements

Little do they know

She's really just hiding below the surface

With a broken heart

And her smile never meeting her eyes

She closes her eyes

And tries not to cry

Why the hell can't he choose her

She's angry and alone

Scared and confused

She wants to scream

She wants to cry

She wants to punch the wall, until her bones shatter

Until her hands break

Until she crumbles in a ball

She's losing it all

Unable to contain it

She has a hard time constraining it

She just wants to cry

And she thinks about death

But yet

She's too scared to die

But she so desperately longs

To fly.
