She is lost.
She is alone.
She cries in the night,
But no one knows.
She's been knocked down
One too many times.
She doesn't know
If she will ever get back up,
Or even open her eyes.
She screams the kind of scream
That no one hears.
She has given up
On fighting the tears.
Now she let's them flow
Silently down her cheeks,
As she softly whimpers
On another sleepless night.
It's all a horrible thing,
Because all she needs
Is someone to help her
Get her wings.

I wrote this piece at a very dark tome in my life about two years ago. I'm better now, and I am no longer ashamed to share what I felt.

Please be careful of the bad ratings on all of my articles. Many of the bad ratings on here are from someone with a bad grudge against me. She only gives bad ratings of my articles, because she's trying to hurt me any way possible.
