"Luck favors the prepared."


Such a beautiful land her mind could be
Filled with vivid images of a child’s dream
Filled with the thoughts of a young girl’s love
Filled with the thoughts of a happy future

But take a step into her depths
Past the facade the world sees
Into the dark place that she calls hell
Bodies scattered across the floor
Some still groaning out in pain
Their very last breath escaping their lungs
Screams fill the air as you enter the front gates
Every building burning an eternal flame
This place, a forever burning inferno
Her anger consumes her

Do you see the fear?
The hate
The rage!
The sadness within this little girls mind
Every bad memory playing back
Just beyond her false happy mask
She’s tried so hard to disregard these feelings
But it is beyond her power
She just wants to fall apart
Everyday she cries behind her fake smile
And chuckles out a forced laugh every now and then
Just to please an ungrateful world

She’s done now
She’s letting herself fall apart
She’s letting herself break
She’s giving up and caving in
She can’t take the pressure anymore
She only puts up a show for the ones she loves
But she can do this no longer
She’s dead inside now

She can’t smile
She can’t laugh
She can’t even breathe
Without feeling the sadness
It overwhelms her
Her body
Her mind
Her soul
She’s sorry she couldn’t keep up
With her own charade

Such a beautiful land her mind could have been
Filled with vivid images of a child’s dream
Filled with the thoughts of a young girl’s love
Filled with the thoughts of a happy future
But that girl no longer walks the face of the earth

My first poem I have written in quite some time. I may be a little rusty at writing now, so ways to improve this one are welcome. Thank you for reading. :)
