Shattered.

But how?

Time.

After time.

Of being betrayed

and hurt.

Emotionally, mentally.

Why don't you had physically to the list too?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why

why do i feel like this?

Where did the little girl go that was happy

and optimistic

joyful, even.

Where?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emotions.

Bottles.

inside of you.

Filled to the brink.

overflowing.

waves.

crashing down.

on the wall you've built around your heart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coping.

Staring.

At words.

On paper.

Sitting alone in your room.

Being enveloped.

By characters.

Who don't exist.

Loving them.

But will they ever exist?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hurt.

"You don't matter."

"Nobody cares about you."

"Nobody ever will."

I just stand there

Staring.

Pretending it doesn't hurt as much as it does.

Being told that by some i care about and love.

I guess it's true.

RIght?
