The girl I used to be
September 10, 2015
Behind the smile under the long sleeves, she's crying " someone rescue me." Everyday feeling like a never ending battle against her demons and constantly falling apart for many reasons. Wanting to escape, relying on the one who calls her babe. His arm around her shoulder if only he would hold her. Feeling lost and having nowhere to go, she doesn't have a place to call home. Behind the smile and the long sleeves, that's the girl I used to be.

I was inspired to write this piece to make other people aware that they're not alone. I was once that lost girl that did not know where to go, and I know there are alot of people struggling the way I did.
