Only fifteen

She is only fifteen

And no one sees

That this girl isnt who she wants to be

She doesn't eat

She rarely sleeps

She draws on her arm and leaves red paint stains

No one can see through this fake facade

She puts on a pained smile everyday 

Trying to hide the fact that she is not okay

Everyone sees this strong, powerful girl

When all she really is, is a weak broken girl waiting to be saved

She tries to reach out to her parents

Wanting to be okay again

But they just tell her she is fine and it is only a phase

After all, she is only fifteen
