Mareen.
Not Maureen, not Marine, not Marren
Someone who loves deeply but can't express it
Feeling trapped in her own mind with a thousand voices
tearing at her heart like a ferocious lion would an antelope.
She hides most of her emotion and sticks to routine.
The routine of contentment and happiness but in reality
She's going through deep despair.
The loss of a loved one. Mentally not physically.
She knows what she wants but she can't try or she won't.
Determined but dead inside so what good is it now?
Trying to be the best at everything only to realize that
she's average. Nothing special or different. Just moderately bland.
Someone who is hated by one whom she has a deep regard for
She's an oak tree. Once you get past the leaves and branches
it's just the base. Open and exposed. All or nothing.
Erosion. Wind. Water. Ice. Fire.
Many, many layers ripping away.
This is what it's like to be
Mareen.
