Unseen, Unheard.......
Can you hear her? Listen...... Probably not instead your listening for a voice, for words, words that have no meaning......... you do not know her true pain you know the type of pain that can kill you with one simple question such as ARE YOU OKAY? because your not really listening..... You listen for diction, for a reason. Your not listening because you don't care about what is going on. Now i tell you shutup and really listen. Do you hear her? SHHHHHH... Quiet Down! Now do you hear he as a soft whimper escapes from her lips......
Can you see her? LOOK... can you see a hurt little girl as she sulks in the corner balled up like a ball.... She's drowning! Drowning in pain as it holds her down like an anchor refusing to let her go, Sorrow as it strangles her refusing to let her speak breath as if it were trying to take her life away, and in Helplessness as if held captive never to be set free. So she cuts her wrist only thinking she can bleed the pain away because she feels as though crying won't help anymore. Her mother nor friends never knew because she never showed she goes day by day Wearing a mask hiding from everyone. Pretending everyday..... YOU KNOW LIVING LIFE......I MEAN DOESN'T EVERYONE..... Now you see her , Now you hear her because looking back at you is that little girl. Starring at you through wet eyes,tears drying on her cheeks, her wounds heal, but her heart still hurts.......
NOW YOU SEE HER!!!!!!
NOW YOU HEAR HER!!!!!
I was told to grow up, I was told that this was apart of growing up, I was told to pray about it. Little did you know that you helped me become who i am today... KEEPING THINGS IN , KNOWING THAT IT WAS ALL A LIE, telling me everything's going to be okay and to ignore it
SO THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I now know that nothing will ever be okay these scars on my arm will never go away they will be a constant reminder that everything was not okay. It was never okay, I was never heard, no one will ever understand... It will be a CONSTANT REMINDER OF PAIN!!!!!!!
LOOK!!!!
LISTEN!!!!!!!
Now she speaks telling her story because she wants to be heard...... NOW YOU HEAR HER!!!!
Now she reveals herself, she removes her mask she no longer wants to hide, she no longer wants to pretend but instead she wants to be known so...... NOW YOU SEE HER because........
I AM THAT LITTLE GIRL
