I knew a young girl, who hidbehind a mask.
She always had a crooked smile.
Everyday pain and anguish spilled
from her eyes.
She laughed a little too hard.
Her insides wilted away, ever so
slowly.
She faded into an inky darkness.
Seasons went by and her heart turned
to ice.
Her thoughts resembled tornadoes.
Every night she battled her demons,
but they would win.
It was if waves crashed in and she
sank, unable to swim.
She breathed through black,
corrupted lungs.
Broken and bruised she let go on the
idea of hope.
The young girl's mask finally slipped
off.
She thought to herself
"I have had enough."
She cried all alone in her sanctuary.
Ready to give life up.
The sound of footsteps approaching
was heard..
Someone heard her cries.
She was not alone.
The young girl was embraced tightly.
It filled her insides with warmth and
melted her ice, cold heart.
After seasons of agony, she finally
spilled her heart out.
A weight was lifted off her shoulders.
She asked for what she was truly
afraid of.
Help.
Today she reflects back on her past
and sighed a relief that she had not
lost.
She fought through storm's and
tsunamis to get to where she was.
The young girl who was once hidden
behind a mask, could now smile and
live a life, worth while.
