an actress
She smiles
She laughs
She builds a glow in her eyes
She is the finest Actress
Yet, not qualified
She cries
She weeps
She sits in silence
She is the finest actress of our time
Yet, this is not acting
This is her reality
Her emotion
You judge her
Make fun of her
Threaten to abuse her
Yet, she carries on with life
At home
A different story is told
Worrying about her world
In isolation
Self-punishing for what was not her fault
Grieving for the lost
Yet, still alive
Drowning in sorrow
She jumps into the sea
As the sea begins to swallow her
She can no longer breath
THE SHARKS FEAST ON HER
She feels the pain
SCREAMS in silence
Afraid no one will save her
She sinks lower and lower
Into the forgotten dark sea
Each day she rises
Only to repeatedly drown
Her life is over
In reality
She fakes her smile
Her laugh
Her strength
She is the finest actress
Yet, not qualified
The thought of her jumping into the sea
Or hanging by a rope from a tree
Gives her peace
She will finally make the people in her heart
FREE
From the burden
If she dares drown or hang by a rope
Show them this poem
As she can’t control her mind
HEARTACHE is taking over
All she wishes is to be numb
So she can finally find some peace
No more acting
Just alone with the sea
