Boney Existence

 As she walked she,

Smiled through tears.

Tears for a life she would never get to have,

Again.

She wished she had realized how much this had changed her.

But until this moment she hadn't realized how much she cared.

Now she knew that she had to do something.

She couldn't go on living like this. 

Half in this world.

Half in the other.

This was no way to live.

Regretting every moment of her existence. 

This couldn't be loving every moment.

This couldn't be all life had to offer.

She started to tap herself on the cheek.

Then harder,

And harder,

 

Until.

She crumples under the pain her own fist brought onto her. 

"WAKE UP!"

She screams.

No one to save her from herself.

No one to motivate her.

No one to wipe her tears, or now bloody.

Nose.

Carefully.

She pulls off the blood.

But with it comes her nose.

She continues to pull at loose flaps of red skin.

And one by one,

They fall from her bones.

There is nothing left but white skeleton.

Clear.

Clean.

Crisp.

New.

She walks.

Now fully alive for the first time in years.

 

The screams of children full her now pure.

Mind. 

She smiles.
