One Year Later
One year later
 Falling apart at the seams
 Collapsing in despair
 Pain hidden from the world
 Eyes guarded to shield the pain from shining through
 
 One year later
 Heart broken
 Scars still raw and open,
 Never healing and never closing fully
 
 One year later 
 Acting fine
 Acting Normal
 But inside always weeping, always screaming
 
 One year later
 Denying and ignoring friends noises of concerns
 But wishing someone would try harder to see 
 The pain hidden behind the shields put up to protect her
 
 One year later
 Mental state broken
 Depressed and going crazy
 Tight control slipping away
 Losing control of emotions, thoughts and words
 
 One year later
 Tired of hiding herself away
 Losing the facadee 
 And showing the world
 The pain and the mess
 That I am
 
 One year Later 
 Trying to recover everyday
 Sometimes winning the battle
 Sometimes failing
 But always, always trying to fight
