&quot;The simplest way that i can understand therapy is that we&#039;re born a certain<br /> way, we&#039;re taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives<br /> trying to unravel it and ultimately align ourselves with who we really are.&quot; ~Billy Corgan

She is only a shadow
of what she used to be.
She has a past
that is pain-filled.
Her few good memories
have faded with time.
She has no friends
that she can truly trust.
She is alone
and it wasn't her choice.
Her life fell apart
in such a short time.
She is crying
and drowning in her tears.
She is hurting
because she lost what mattered most.
Her fragile heart
is shattering with her world.
She is bleeding
in a dark, empty room.
And now she's dying
Because Of You.

Your poems always have this dark, mellow feeling to them. Its almost kind of frightening haha Its all pretty well written though, so keep it up!
