She tries to fake a smile
She’s become a master of disguise
Empty and heartless,
There’s nothing in her eyes
She’s just a shell
Of nothing
Wishing to escape this hell
Of lost hopes
Broken dreams
Unachieved goals
Falling short of the finish line
One too many times
Has left her broken
Too weak to pick up the pieces
She sits there in silence
Realizing this is her moment
To walk away
Start fresh
The scars have healed
The pain she’s endured
Still lies on her shoulders
The burden of never being perfect
Will destroy her
These wounds they will not heal
They say time heals all wounds
They lied
Why am I still hurting?
