There is no one

There never was

A girl consumed by darkness but who still fought to see the light

It never came

And the darkness never faded

She pushed and she pushed

Trying to convince herself that someone wanted her around

They never did

And so she gave them their wish

At least,

that's how this story could have ended

But instead she stayed

Finding solace from the shadows in something that she never thought she would

She still tries, and fails, day in day out, to believe that her life is worth something

That it's worth living

But how can she when no one else does?

The girl in the story never got better

To this day she wonders what went wrong

Wishing for a second chance she knows she won't get

The girl in this story still feels the pain of rejection from her world

Still dreams of a different one, a better one

She still deludes herself with hopes of a knight in shining armour saving her from herself

The girl in this story still fights, but is slowly growing weaker

Soon she will have to give up

Let the darkness consume her

The girl in this story is nothing but an empty shell of who she once was

Broken into so many pieces by all that surrounds her that she can't even see what needs fixing

But until the day when her heart stops beating, she will stay strong

Only crying when no one is around

Only feeling what needs to be felt

Only showing what others wish to see

The girl in this story?

Well that girl is me.
