She
The brokenness of her life
was so entrancing
The parts she couldn't bear
they kept romancing
She cries in the dark
but in the light only smiles
And outsiders always
compliment her styles
Of clothing & choices
But what of the voices?
She can't keep going
and going on fumes
She feels the threat
of something bigger looms
It's good for just a while
Her existence
She organizes & nests
against resistance
But after a period of what feels like an hour
the blackness starts to devour
All she's worked for
She did it for nothing
She so wanted to believe
it would add up to something
And though her life
is coming to an end
Part of her still
wanted to pretend...she's someone.
