Dear Diary,
I know I'm suppose to look at the glass half full, but what do you do when you can't even find the glass. All day I've been composing a poem inside my head. So ready or not here it comes.
Nothing Left
What do you do when you are left alone,
And the life you're living isn't even your own,
When there is no more tears left to cry,
Why couldn't it had been me instead of her to die,
Now that she is back she hates living,
She won't even try healing,
She has always had it better than me,
Why won't she just open her eyes and see,
Now that she is back everyone has forgotten about me,
I was only noticed when I was still the key,
When she became living again in people's eyes I died,
But I'm the only one who cried,
So I'm the worst thing you can be,
I'm living but I'm that person you never see,
No one sees the pain and hurt,
And how I'm treated like dirt,
I look out the window and pray for dawn to come out of the darkness,
And scorn the sun for its laziness,
Standing here my life is crashing down,
But no one even notices my frown.
I'm running away today, right before the sun rises. You might say I'm overreacting, and I would agree with them if I was living their life. All I'm taking with me is important stuff like clothes, this diary, and every cent I own. I rather live alone, and in a motel then live life as the invisible sister of the great slayer. The only thing I am leaving for them to find is this poem. Maybe then they will realize how I feel. Maybe then they will realize all the things they should of done. Maybe then they will be nicer to the people around them because one day they might just disappear. Maybe.
Yours truly,
Dawn Summers
