poems from a lonely girl

lost underwater

i don't know who i am anymore.

i can't find who i am

amidst the stormy sea of self hatred

and the surging throng of angry lies

i can barely remember who i used to be

when the peaceful waters housed

passionate promises

made in a haze of love and and unity

a true reflection of the beauty within

now dried up, sunken and shriveled

revealing the ugly truth

beneath my rotten mask
