Emptiness

She sits in a darkened corner,
Staring at an empty space,
This is my life she thinks,
The expression on her face,

If they could tell a story,
Then she wouldn’t have to speak of her pain,
She wouldn’t sit here wondering,
If life will every be right again,

She would not need to say a word,
The tear-dropped face explaining all,
The cries for help that she has screamed,
That vulnerable girls call,

She dare not say anything,
Just in case it does not stop,
She feels all alone and helpless,
Like she’s sinking to the bottom, not rising to the top,

Sinking to the bottom slowly,
Calling for a helping hand,
But nobody can hear her silent screaming,
Nobody can understand,

What this girl is going through,
As she sits alone in thought,
Why things have gone this way,
Why she is so distraught,

She sits there night after night,
Wondering what might have been,
If only she could have spoken,
If only people had seen,

If she did not sit and cry,
But to pick herself up off the floor,
Maybe she could be happy,
Feel fulfillment and so much more,

Feel like she’s loved and needed,
Wanted by someone new
Not longing for someone to notice.
For someone to have a clue,

This girl has got no life,
Nobody at her side,
Nobody to give her good advice,
Nobody to wipe up the tears she has cried,

She needs to think more positive,
Then maybe things will change,
She fears getting on in life,
As she knows the world is strange,

Full of strange wonders,
New horizons good and bad,
The last thing this girl wants,
Is to relive the awful times she has had.

Explanation

At the time I wrote this I was aiming to write a story about a male friend but to keep it anonymous I wrote it as the opposite sex. The main idea was to show him that I knew how he felt and what he was going through and that he didn't have to keep it all locked up away inside where it hurt more and dragged him further away from the world, instead I wanted to show him that if he speaks up, then it won't hurt so bad and the wounds will heal, everything happens for a reason, and whether good or bad if it's meant to happen it will and if it won't then it won't.
