The Girl

no one knows she cries herself to sleep.

she battles inner demons and satan himself

she hides it from everyone

the pain

the lies

she's afraid of not being sane

but that's not all

there is nothing to help.

nothing for coping.

too scared for drugs and razors

her mind takes it out on her mentally

intellectually.

physically.

she's deteriorating from the inside out

she can't see it until it's too late

and still does nothing about it.

she's aware, but ignores

she's gone for help, it hasn't worked

no one understands

the pain.

the lies.

she laughs with friends and has the "perfect" life to strangers. 

she is creative, outgowing, hardworking

until the demons come.

this is the girl that cries herself to sleep

this is me.
