she dies silently


who is the girl smiling and frowning,
the one with personality disorders?

she cries silently to sleep
wondering how something so strong could turn out so weak

how expectations turn into disappointments,
how independence and confidence turned into bitterness and self loathing

in confusion, in delusion
gasping for oxygen, reaching out for a life float.

the sun is shining but all she sees are rainy days of gloom
people laugh at the face of adversity

but she writhes with emotional struggle
crumbles like sawdust,

 friends and family become strangers
and slowly everything once familiar becomes alien

dawn comes and nothing changes
she floats with the wind like dandelions,

too weak, too ignorant to stand up and fight,
 the fire within has died and so has she.
