A girl sits by a window,
Crying in despair and defeat,
Remembering a time
When she was on the top of the world,
A joyful child filled with hope,
Loved and respected by her parents,
Not filled with this aching emptiness,
Willing to destroy her within,
With her own self – bitter
Judgment of life,
Tearing out her faithful hope
And dreams to pieces,
Replacing her flame
For this numbing darkness.

We still respect this new person,
Becoming a shell lost
In the loneliness and emptiness,
And abandon her
To the bitter tears of pain,
While we watch her inner demons
Destroy her inside,
For no one gives her
A helping hand,
Or hold her to dry
These empty tears,
The burden is too much
For her to carry on her shoulders alone,
Yet many people fear
This burden and its weight,

She only wishes
To release these lost tears
Pinned up in her heart,
To make the disappointment go away,
To collapse into a heap of old memories
And the deep, cold void of this burden,
To let all her pain and fears
Disappear in the dark.

But still something lives within
The emptiness and bitter truths,
Waiting to be free
With a will strong enough
To rebuild her inside out,
An old logic in the shadows of her mind
Waiting to be used,
Washing away the meaningless self – centered thoughts of defeat,
It gives a new dream to reach
And new hopes to relight her flame,
To burn away the loneliness,
Even though, everything else
Such as religion, friendship, or self respect
Have let her down,
A new flame of hope was created
To fill up their empty promises,
And bring her back to the light
Like a moth to a flame.

But for now, she cries
Her tears of despair,
Closing herself off to the outside world,
Waiting for a new hope or dream
To come her way,
To light the emptiness in her soul,
To make her old ideals and memories disappear
And become someone else
With the strength to withstand
The despair and emptiness.
