Mere Mortal
I never knew just one girl, one insignificant, unimportant girl, could hold inside so much hate.
I didn’t know that so much anger and hatred was inside her, something not even as complex as love could fix her.
And that hate, she could not dispel, she couldn’t run away;
The hate just caused new problems to create.
So many things running through her mind as she looked inside the truth-telling and reflecting mirror,
She ravaged herself and screamed and screamed at it, yet, still, no one seemed to hear her.
Screams silent, the scars and wounds she bears are louder than words could ever be,
She wants to find the light, but she can’t do so hopefully.
Even the pain begs her to stop, the noise of anger and so much hurt surround her, but she still abides it, knowing that she will never be free.
From the pain, and the hurt.
The tears as she bites her lip as she falls once again, defeated, into the dirt.
Down she falls, like the rest of her life has crumpled around her,
The shadows grow darker and bigger each day and turn the world around her into a dark murk;
Full of darkness and nothing but fear, the monsters in the darkness continue to lurk,
Nothing appeases them, nothing pleases them, as they settle onto her and grow relentless.
She wants to stop these bad things from repeatedly happening, but her senses are no longer alert,
The days in which she was able to survive and be thoughtfully pensive
Have soon faded away and ended.
For the only time she was able to survive was with him,
And now he has gone.
Her chances of survival now in the darkness is very slim,
As she can no longer live on this rickety whim.
All that she has known no longer exists.
The anger, hatred, and pure evil inside her…
…She can no longer resist.
