Storm

She feels the walls caving in,

she takes a look in the mirror,

disgusted by what she sees. 

"I wish I was braver,

prettier,

...more like her." 

She says shivering.

No one seems to understand her.

Her mind wants to find home.

She is like a shadow in this world.

A chapter of her soul, no one has read yet.

A lonely soul that's allergic to other people.

They affect her too much.

She keeps wandering off to greater places.

So unhappily in love with another world.

A world where she belongs.

So, alone she sits in the dark.

Dreaming away to a place where the stars shine brightly for her. 

...

Sadness hits her like a knife in the back at 3am.

She takes a steaming, hot shower trying desperately to scrub off all the bad voices.

Her head is a storm.

She has forgotten the passion she used to have for life,

her personality has become a burden.

She feels the water dripping on her skin like acid.

She turns off the shower and takes a deep breath.

...

this is a good write Gullia. disturbing but very well written indeed. as usual many great lines. strong, painful, uncomfortable imagery. definately a troubled soul. can feel the torment. a real downer. 'She is like a shadow in this world.
