She Couldn't
October 28, 2015
The light that once
Shined so bright
The smile that was once
So wide
The laugh that was once
So contagious
The voice that once
Wouldn’t stop
They all just disappeared
She couldn't shine anymore
She couldn't find the energy
To smile anymore
She couldn't find the a reason
To laugh anymore
She couldn’t find a reason
To care anymore
Her voice couldn’t be
Heard anymore
She just stopped
She stopped everything
It was as if
She had lost
The will to do everything
She lost it
She lost all interest
She wasn’t there
Mentally
She was barely there
Physically
She had lost all
Reason to be
Happy
She had only few
That she could
Trust
Even then she felt
So alone
So lost

I love how there was repetition used in the poem with once and couldn’t. “She lost it. She lost everything there. She wasn’t there mentally. She was barely there physically.” Those two stanzas were deep because I know a girl that was once in that position. She was just done with life when her mother passed away. While reading this poem, I could see what she was going through.

I love this poem. I can relate to some parts of this poem with past experiences in my life. The lines "She had only few That she could Trust," reminds me of the people I USE to trust that I just don't feel like I can trust anymore.. Sometimes things change in life and you just have to move on and deal with it.
I hope that this lets people start to truly look at others and see that not everyone is okay and that others are going through stuff.
