I'm a shy person. I hide things inside of me like a squirrel hide food. I'm so scared that if I let you take over me that people would see me how I really am and would leave.
You're like an angry ocean storm and I'm like the sailing ship. One minute the ship is fine and the next it's sinking. I knew a boy once who made me forget all about you and replaced you with happy thoughts of him and butterflies.
But that's the thing...i used to know him. He took his happy thought and his butterflies and became one of you. I was so lost that day I gave into all of your harsh words and I lost all of my strength.
The darkness enveloped me and kept me petrified of you. The fear of being alone and being hated and the fear of much more. The devil had taken me and made me a slave to you, but I would find a way to escape.
I would find a single Ray of hope and I would leave you. I would leave you alone with yourself to feel all of the pain you have inside of you. I would leave you just like the boy left me.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Lynn Martin
