Her Eyes
By vaultgrl
The snowflakes grace her face with their presence as she numbly
walks home. Her feet are wet, but she hasn’t noticed yet, her clothes
are soaked and she seems void of hope. The memories, cascading back, betray
her and show the self-esteem she lacks. She pushed them away for so long,
convinced herself it would do no harm. As the thoughts come back, memories
and feelings too, she starts to sink and see all she’s worked towards
unglue. That voice that lingers in the back of her head-“you can’t
do it, you aren’t good enough, it doesn’t matter what you do, you’ll
always disappoint” grows inside her as she silently drifts away.
Suddenly she realizes, there’s something different now. Suddenly she
realizes, her eyes don’t have to point down. Family and friends, this
time they’ll be around, this time, there is an alarm she can sound.
Her eyes don’t have to point down.

This poem, I find almost too true about myself. Being told all your life that you're nothing and never will be, will always be a disappointment, yes, I know this all too well. Thanks for this write. It was beautiful. And kudos to you for the ending.

Nice, if you truly believe that you have come a long way! That’s so good! I hope you can continue to believe in yourself because we believe in you.
