I don’t know where I am going

Not quite sure how I got here

Or even where I am.

I have spent my entire life trying to escape myself

Attempting to change the girl in the mirror

But no matter what I do, it is always me starring back.

My sad eyes starring blankly into space

I scream silently and wonder why no one can hear me.

I cry myself to sleep each night because the pain has overtaken me.

I feel as if I am suffocating

Drowning in my thoughts

I have been left alone in this world

Put in solitude by death, abuse, betrayal.

I spend each day wondering why I should go on

When the world seems to be full of nothing but pain.

I am locked in my room feeling so desperately alone

I am the biggest danger to myself

Yet only I can save me.

I feel as if I don’t belong in this world

Yet I go on each day

Fake smile plastered on my face.

I can never let anyone know how I really feel

Because no one would ever understand.
