she's tired
(exhausted, actually)
which is why she feels numb
so much of the time.
but it's also
a little bit more
than that.
because she remembers,
not that long ago,
when it wasn't just numbness
(although that was a big part)
but just about every other
negative emotion she can think of.
and she's better now,
truly she is,
but just because it's over
doesn't mean it didn't exist.
and these demons in her closet
still haunt her sometimes,
when she's not strong enough
to keep their voices out.
all the shit she went through
not on the front of her mind anymore
but still there,
buried too deep to get rid of.
and it sucks
but that's how it is,
and no-one's going to
fix it for her
because they can't.
she can't fix it either.
it's just one of the little
tragedies we all experience,
the scratches in the glass
of the lens we see the world through.
she's a little bit broken
and some days are
easier than others
but at least
she's trying.
because the darkness
may call like an old friend
(because that's what it is)
but she's wearing headphones.
