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
