The Ending

It's late at night,
No one in sight,

Walking around with no home,
Sitting on the bench forever alone,

The city sounds surround my ears,
The sound of drones,terror and fear,

A single tear drops from her face,
She feels a failure and disgrace,

The pressure of living, the stress of the day,
Can disclose a girl in a harrowing way,

The lamplight burns through the streets and the trees,
Any creature with a shrill mind runs and flees,

And now, she's surrounded, by her thoughts with no escape,
And the memory of glee when once she was awake,

And with that jump she ends her tale,
As she drifts away, a sail,

An ocean of blue, a sea of dismay,
On how a broken girl, has ended her day.
