Stuck.

by ElegantlyWasted   Sep 5, 2005


Lost within this padded cell,
Labeled "Beautifully Insane",
She tries not to hate herself,
But it's her that caused the pain.

Bruises align her body,
Make-shift walls surround,
There is no chance of escape,
She has no need to be found.

Words are only whispers,
Wrapped in plastic hopes,
"I'm fine, i promise I'm okay",
Yet they question how she copes.

Repeating her every sentence,
"Are you sure you are okay?",
"You know you don't have to pretend",
But she has nothing more to say.

Her scars never disappeared,
Like you said they would,
So step back and walk away,
I know I'd do that if i could.

    Hey, Kal. :)

    It's been a lifetime since i've seen a new poem from you! How've you been?

    I loved it. I love how brilliant your words are to me. They make me think and paint a picture in my head. This one made me have a mental image of a girl wrapped inside her lonlieness and pain. That's not how i want to picture you though. :( I want to have an image of you smiling. :D

    I hope you're doing great, Kalah. Take care.

    Love Always,
