A trail of tears wherever she goes,
Permanent black smudges below her eyes,
She grudgingly walks around all day
plotting her own demise.

Constantly being pulled back and forth
between depression and joy,
Searching for words and whispers
that can help expose the voids.

With scratches and symbols on her skin,
Ragged and red,
These etchings of sin go unnoticed.
No one cared that she bled.
