The Lost Cause

~ Keep your head up princess before the crown falls ~

Chin down.
Head hung.
Mind was full of confusion.
Heart heavy with words.
Words left unsaid.
Unheard silence.
Chaos coursing inside.

A perfect way to define the way Enid Benneth carried herself through the crowded corridors towards her class.

Never once at peace, with her restless soul, formulating ways to never go wrong to please them.
Shoulders hung with the burden of expectation standing on them.
Not a life a sixteen-year-old would quite imagine for herself.
A single wish to stand strong and never let them down weighed her down.

Face loss of charm.
Eyes sunken due to loss of sleep.
She was the borderline example of mistreated youth and early harbored responsibilities.
Clawing for light, screaming in desperation was her silence.
Not knowing that she would be the one to break free from all the shackles they tied her down with.
Not knowing that the light just resided in her, and needed to be found and known.

She was lost for a cause.
A cause she would never speak about.
A cause that forced her to grow up more than she wanted to.
And all for them.

Until she found herself on the brink of breaking down and chasing down the things that finally gave her the freedom to breathe and live then existing which she had been doing since she could remember.

Warning: Mentions of physical and emotional abuse.

Not a typical good girl and bad boy love story.
This story is about a girl who was forced to grow up fast and later discovers herself and loves herself with the help of herself. No boy drama involved.
