A dark cavernous room houses a young girl

A girl told she wasn’t good enough

A girl told she was useless

A girl told she was worthless

A girl told she was unwanted

Everyday haunted by the voice that spoke those very words

She sits tucked away in the corner against cement walls

The coldness of the grey washed concrete sending chills up and down her spine

Tears falling to the floor and splashing in her own lake

Just like the rocks she used to skip across the river

Whilst thoughts of being submerged in the frigid water brought peace

The flow of the crisp water encapsulating her body

Her fear stricken face relaxed as the light faded out of sight

With a blank mind full of thoughts she sat at the water’s edge

Waiting for the light of the moon to call her home

Each step within the confined space of the walls pulls them one foot closer together

As she’s trapped in the nooks and crannies of her mind

She looks through the two way mirror

Seeing all the people that don’t see her
