Me


I'm still struggling with my past but at least I've survived it so far

 

Young girl,

Young innocent girl,

Young innocent contented girl,

Young innocent contented clueless girl,

Young innocent contented clueless adorable girl,

A girl who had no idea at all

Of what horrors she would endure

Back when she was so young;

Fast forward,

Older girl,

Older broken girl,

Older broken-hearted girl,

Older broken-hearted shameful girl,

Older broken-hearted shameful guilty girl,

Older broken-hearted shameful guilty lonely girl,

Older broken-hearted shameful guilty lonely ugly girl,

A girl who hated herself

For what she had become,

A girl who thought no one would love her

Because of her loneliness

And all of the mistakes she had made,

A girl who thought that everything was her fault,

A girl who wanted to die,

Who wanted to harm herself,

And who just wanted all of the torture and sorrow

To finally be put to an end;

Me.
