She feels her strength deserting her,
The colour drains from her face
Her body seems to have lost its warmth,
And ice has taken its place.

Too weak to even breathe,
Too weak to even cry
She looks in the mirror, and then she begins
to ask the question, ‘why’

She’s always had her reasons;
It’s always been the way.
The unspoken secret, that people knew,
That no one could never say.

Her body, it starts shaking
Her legs won’t hold for long,
All this in an attempt to be
accepted; just to belong.

Belong to their perfect world,
where people don’t have flaws
Thinking about it, she needs to take
A moment just to pause.

She’s causing far more damage,
Than she ever should.
She hasn’t tried to save herself,
though she knows she could.

Self destructive and self loathing,
She’s destroying her whole life
So much so that every heart beat,
Cuts her like a knife.

But they will never believe her,
It’s all so clear to them
They roll their eyes, and sigh again,
They judge and they condemn.

Her breathing’s ragged now,
It’s time to pay the price.
For all the mistakes that she has made,
- all that ignored advice.

She closes her eyes and feels relief,
Her body now is numb.
Falling deeper into darkness,
as she finally succumbs.
