Feeling

a little lost after spending so much time on the move that when one slows down.

It’s like I’ve missed so much while the people who demand so much of me don’t care as I lose myself for the person I see in the mirror these days are a stranger.

Her eye’s always looking so tired and sad that I wonder what others see when they see her every day.

Do they see her cry for help because all she wants to do is escape?
And not be trapped in this space of feeling like a stranger in her own body.

The sweet and innocent person is now so sad and angry or just too tired to care at all what she is.

Not letting anyone walk over her, she has become so hard.
It’s so hard to be soft towards anyone for her guard is always up now.

She feels like nothing good is coming from her new change and fears her sometime good time will soon turn into nothing but nasty and unfortunate events.
