Staying Alive

Staying Alive

She walks alone, with crying eyes.
Her heart is still broken.
She tries to make things work.
She wants to stay alive.

Day by day, she wanders around,
a lost soul in a sea of lonely.
No one sees her.
No one wants her.

She tries to call out, but her cries
are never heard.
No one she can trust is near.
She screams until her voice is gone.

She screams without words.
Her arm is covered in bright, red screams.
No one sees or hears these shrieks,
and she does not want them too.

She hides herself and stays hidden.
No one sees everything.
Someday, someone will.
And she will be waiting for that day to come.
