Hello to the dark

I randomly searched up a topic on google and I just kind of put something together please let me know how it turned out, enjoy:)

When I look at her

I see a happy and beautiful girl.

Always smiling, always laughing.

Its like everyone knew her, her name was always called.

And you can see the smile that runs across her face when she hears it,

You can see the sparkle and joy when she greets her friends

And just jokes around.

But have you ever wonder what she was like behind closed doors, alone, with no one around?

Do you ever wonder if she breaks down?

If her mind takes over her?

You ever wonder if she feels alone?

She may wear a mask, covering up

her every thought,

her fears,

her scars,

everything..

But no one knows.

no one knows that she cries herself to sleep at 3AM,

no one knows that she blames herself for everything,

no one knows that she’s screaming for help..

because no one sees or hears her.

She hides it all, because its not a big deal.

Its not a big deal that she feels hurt and abandon

Its not a big deal that she overthinks

Its not a big deal that she’s fighting herself… alone.

But to someone else it may be a huge deal.

But to who? Is the question.

No one.

At night she feels like she doesn’t exist,

She feels useless,

mistreated,

unappreciated,

             forgotten..

Everything is slowly becoming dark.

Everything that she was afraid

is finally catching up and taking over her.

Its time to say goodbye to the light,

and hello to the dark.

This was amazing! It's so haunting and beautifully written. I like the progession you made from beginning with the mask of happiness and ending with entering the darkness. I think a lot of people think that feelings are no big deal, but it's often feelings that are the biggest and scariest things in life. I really like this poem, keep writing!!

thank you :')

I like the question format of this poem and I think it's quite well written, but I must ask, why does anyone in this world deserve recognition? We're all collections of atoms, emotions, wearing the masks of our egos. I think if we were to let go of the idealized image of what we expect ourselves to be, then perhaps we could all live more harmoniously. We all face loneliness and one day not even the names of the greatest people will be remembered. All we can do is the best we can with the time given to us. Haha, sorry for getting all philosophical on you...I did enjoy the read :)

She is he and I am he and that leaves me to be the one in this poem but the mask of masculinity doesn't allow for vulnerability therefore I suppress it and let poets like you speak for me.....thanks for being the voice when mine is silent.

Easy to fall into the dark. I like the journey you took me with.
"No one.
At night she feels like she doesn’t exist,
She feels useless,
mistreated,
unappreciated,"
The above emotion is felt by many. Hard to find the light of hope. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
