- Darkness -
She had always been praised for
Her bright smile.
Over time she heard
It less and less,
Until it began to be replaced by
“What’s wrong’s”and
“Are you okay’s”
When the dark days began
To outnumber
The good days,
She knew she was losing.
She pauses,
Unsure of what’s next.
Unsure of what to do now.
Now that she knows,
She knows the struggle inside
Dying to get out.

- Maybe -
She was tired of searching
She could not find it,
She could not find the thing
That made her eyes twinkle.
All she wanted,
Was to find something
That made her excited to be alive.
Maybe she was not meant
To ever find it.
Maybe there really is no one thing
We are all destined for.
Maybe.
But that thought
Terrified her.
