Have you ever noticed the bags under her eyes
Or this anger issues that she has?

Her hollow cheeks and cracked lips
still forced into a smile.
Struggling to show everyone that she's a fighter,
that she will be alright.

No one bothered to hold her close, to tell her that it's ok to not be alright.

So she breathed through her life, as though it was a battlefield and wished that one day she would live
and not just survive.
