she walks

by NiaB2

she walks
clothes tattered
heart shattered
for nothing mattered
did it?

in her eyes, life was mystical
was
not anymore
the magic no longer lingers in her eyes
swirling with surprise
they didn’t realize her

until
she
was gone

they reminisce of nothing
for nothing they cared about
other than themselves

she walks
alone, without a home
stumbling into the darkness as she struggles to find a door
any entryway that would take her far away

she had dreams
had
they were crushed
demolished
unknowingly by the smashers
dashing to find their next victims
not realizing their damage

damaged, she fell
prey to society’s rotten standards
no one is there
was there
no one

if a girl cries alone
did she cry?
was she really hurt?

undeserving, they called her, behind her back
she knew
everyone did
but again, they. didn’t. care.

so she didn’t care anymore
about life
about family (the one she never had)
about anything

so she took the only thing she could
her life
after searching for answers
and wanting so much from the world
all the world didn’t give her

she gave herself away
her heart, they broke it
her voice, she took it
they silenced her
stopped listening
just
stopped.

and now her heart has stopped
breathless
she walked
walked
again, not anymore
happy now?
