So elegantly her mind traveled away from a pleasant thought.
Compassion was absent from her vocabulary.
Like a weed yearning for new ground, hate grew throughout her youthful heart.
She did the things she held a passion for.
Not once did she remember the joy that those once brought her.
Fatigued from the long life of sorrow,
desperate for the familiar comfort she had in herself.
The drains, they drained out the cries for help.
Masked by the smiles of others, not one could comprehend her true emotion.
She is not ill, but she takes medicine.
How often did she want to be wanted once again.
She missed the best of times,
But she's better this way.
