I am alive.
But am I really?
My heart is beating but my mind is clouded.
I'm invisible, yet I am not.
I hide in the shadows, yet I am in the light.
Why is my soul crying but my mouth smiling.
I'm conflicted, am I alive?
When I was younger the sun only shined.
There was no darkness in my life.
I asked, "Mommy will I be okay?"
She responded, "You'll always be okay."
But things have changed.
My life is slowly being consumed by darkness.
The sun doesn't shine anymore.
Help me I'm drowning.
Can you please help me? I'm dying.
Can anyone hear me?
Can't you see I'm drowning?
Why won't you help me?
Why am I only shouting into the void?
Mom? Dad? Anyone?
No one hears my desperate cries.
Why do the voices grow louder?
You're broken.
Please make the voice stop.
You're worthless.
Please! Please stop!
No one listens darling.
I'm broken.
He doesn't love you.
Who can ever love me?
I no longer ask my mother if I'll be okay.
I know I won't be.
Don't forget to smile, they're looking.
I'm alive.
