The Living Ghost

A little, delicate figure stands in the corner

Her delicate face wrapped in her pale hands

She looks up

Her sorrowful eyes show the pain that she has withheld   

She looks around the room

Helplessly trying to find her way through the tangled mess of bodies

These bodies…

The bodies that just see through her

Like she is nothing

Like she is invisible…


She screams for help so very loudly

Yelling for help

Escape from this living hell

She screams and screams until she finally gasps for breath

But no one hears her screams

No one comes to help

Her voice is engulfed by the voices of these other bodies

As they isolate her

For she is a trapped soul

Confused and lost

Still trying to find her place in this wretched world

Where does she fit in?

She is still yet to find out

But she does not know something yet...

One important crucial fact…

That she is lost in the most important stage of her life

But that she need not worry

She will eventually find what she desires


But who is she?

She is one of many lost souls in this world…

She is a living ghost


The author's comments:

There is one important thing that I have learned in life... that your hardest times will often lead to your greatest moments. Everyone in this world has felt lost at one point in their life. Therefore, everyone has been "the living ghost." However, all of us are capable of finding that strength inside of us to bring us back to life. To exit that phase of being the "living ghost." To find true joy and purpose in life.
