Cold drops of water
graze down my skin,
Climbing and falling
with my curves.

I try to tighten
my trembling lips,
Forcing them
to curve upwards.

These stinging streams
crack open my shell,
Leaving all my wounds open;

I press my hand
upon my lips,
So the world doesn't
know I'm broken.

Freezing water
colliding with my hair,
Slowly stretches
beyond my eyes.

My weaknesses
I would die to hide;
My tears,
they silently slide.

I stand within these
four hollow walls,
With sound of
showering drops
my only savior;

Pain hoarding within me
bursts out in gasps,
Cause in here
I don't have to be a warrior.

I'm no survivor.

I'm no solider.

I'm just a girl
who needs someone
to hold her.
