Nobody
she felt lost with no one to turn to
Click the play button below to hear the audio version:
she lost her smile,
and tried to find it within friends
when that failed she looked to boys
none ever paid attention or saw her as pretty
but just as she was branded,
a nobody.
none saw her inner beauty
or her pained smiles
but they read her label as a nobody
each time
many tears fell and her smile did not return
she craved for her father to call her pretty
but that dream was nothing but a blur
she felt lost with no one to turn to
not one trick in her book
she decided to place herself in a box
secured with a firm lock
to which eventually killed her spirit,
and stole her light
she leaned on god during
her period of weakness
scared
fragile
she started to regain her strength
become stronger
in a determined quest to kill her inner self
which was filled with an overpowering
sense of doubt
which eventually dwindled to
a cruel monster made from self-hate
finally, she accepted all hope was lost
with no one to love her
or hear her mournful cries
so, she wrote this poem and closed her eyes
drifting off into a troubled slumber
wondering why she even wakes up
sometimes
