Sadness
January 22, 2021
She sat there
staring at air
nothing to want to be
always have to compare.
Her sobs filled the quiet room
blanking out
during her zoom
the call felt lke eternity
like everyone stared at her
and watched her turn into what they wanted her to be
She sat quiet.
She said she needed a 'diet'
and she swore by it.
her body pale and thin
looking in the mirror
wanting to throw her self in the trash bin
Now she could see clearer.
Why was she faking for everyone elses sake
She just wanted a break. . .
