Skin & Bones

Waking up in night sweats

Trying to slip out of the darkness

That seems to capture my mind 

The thought of loneliness

Brings me to stillness

But there’s no comfort in sight

I dream about not being heard

Begging for you to listen

Maybe im processing your words

They pierce my skin

I’m invisible

Misunderstood

Lied to constantly

Because i’m too good

I question my worth

If i’m not one with kindness

Taught to be the good girl

What where has that brought me?

Constantly putting others before me

My bones and skin are starting to decay

My mind is starting to wonder, 

I assume it’ll walk out any day

I fear of being alone

But isolate in my sadness

My words all jumble together

And i question if any of this makes sense
