SHE

she walks with her head down

she does not speak

her jaws are clenched 

and her fingers pick at skin 

a knot seems to always be lodged into her throat 

the she is alone

No one sees it

No one sees her for who she is for

She has chained herself up to a tower of rotten flesh

that smells and leaks of fluid

but she will not let go

the tower that once brought her confidence now eats at her self esteem 

the tower belittles and laughs and strips she of everything she could have been 

the tower hids as well as she 

no one see it 

no even she

Your words are as deep as the ocean and as sad as a grieving mother.

Your tower will yet again become your castle. Pain does not last forever my friend.
I pray your confidence comes rushing back because you deserve everything that makes one self happy. ?
