"Her"

Stilettos and broken dreams she’s got heartbreak inked inside the palms of her hands. She never wears her heart on her sleeve and she’s afraid of the dark, or so it seems. And she’s got really bad anxiety, it makes her hate the people around her and it makes her voice shrink till the words she speaks turn into inaudible sounds that fade into the backgrounds of clubs and parties she never goes to. And she says she hates sleep but maybe she’s just scared of what she might see in her dreams.

The thought of the world ending and us dying is what keeps her up at night sometimes but so does too much coffee. She’s got low self-esteem and never thinks she’s pretty. She’s got her goals painted in the back of her brain and for them she works everyday. And so she hopes to achieve something great, but doesn’t really mind fading away without much of a trace. -H
