Why can't you see ? Oh do enlighten me with your reason - your excuse.You walk past her every single day but you daren't look in to her eyes because then you'll see maybe her scars aren't so invisible anymore...maybe - maybe she's tired of hiding it all. She's not just tired - she's exhausted. That fake smile she plastered on her face everyday is starting to loose its sparkle. That fake laugh she carries around her is beginning to weigh more than she can hold.
Cant you hear her screams ?
Her cries ?
Piercing through the air like a sharp silence. Why can't you see her - she's drowning in her own sadness ... gasping for air - lungs burning. Her mind is poison and her heart is an ongoing battlefield. She can't fight it anymore, she's weak .. yet still able to get weaker . Can't you see the whirlpool of tears resembling her bleeding heart ... her bleeding heart that poured its contents right in to your hands but you didn't help her you wiped your hands clean and walked away. Accept you were never there in the first place. It's like she was invisible to you - to you all. Couldn't you see behind her smile, couldn't you hear beyond that half-hearted laugh ?
Because one day her scars weren't so invisible anymore. One day she stopped caring , she unravelled her bandages and ripped off her plasters but you refused to accept the fact that she was struggling because she was the happy one right ? She was the one who'de make sure everyone else was okay but no one even thought about her for a second. She could crack a joke out of anyone flashing you that bright sparkly smile. She couldn't be sad. No - never because she was the strong one right ? That's what everyone thought don't feel too guilty - you wasn't the only one.
They watched her fall, crumble shatter into a million pieces.
So why ?!
Why was she so invisible to them ..?
Why couldn't they see this overpowering hurt ready to swallow her heart.
Thing is they did see - you all saw.
So the real question is why did you choose to ignore her and treat her scars as if they were invisible ?
