Besides You

Demons

She always seems to be the shoulder to cry on

She always seems to care more than expected

She always seems to be okay

The one that has their shit together

The one that has parents that love her

The one that has the extraordinary life

Yet behind her smile is a story

Behind her sparkling eyes, is a tear falling upon her cheek

Behind the blasting music was her demons screaming

She can't tell her parents, they would think she's mental

She can't tell her friends, they would think she is a drama queen

She can't tell the love of her life, he would leave her

As days became weeks and weeks became months

The pain grew

The more the pain consumed her

The less she felt anything

She didn't cry as much

She didn't care as much

She didn't feel as much

All she wanted was for someone to listen

All she wanted was to feel happy

All she wanted was the pain to end

She couldn't understand why people didn't pay attention

She couldn't stand the thought of ending her life

She couldn't think straight when she is conflicted with her demons as well as her morals

She tried to swim to shore

She tried to run for her life

She tried to fight her enemies

But she lost......

then one day she broke.....
