The Beginning
Let's go back in time
Travel down memory lane
Until we hit a dead end
The first checkpoint
On our journey of demise.
The scene begins
With a little girl crying
Alone in an empty room
Frustrated.
Tearing at the walls
Of a doorless room of sorrow
She loses sense of hope
Falls deep,
Very deep,
Into the realm of darkness.
A beautiful swan inside
Ugly duckling outside
She is flipped inside-out
Matures into a beautiful woman
Plagued with scars on her heart
Memories of what she once was.
Painted with empty smiles
Filled with false happiness
She watches her life waste away
Yet reaches out to nobody.
She has learned long ago
It's hopeless.
She crawls in a corner
Hiding from the world
That's where the scene ends
The film is broken
What we have seen
Is only Part 1
Of a saga of depression
What I like to call
The Beginning of the End.
Very moving, and very relatable.
The last stanza had me intrigued, is this meant to be continuous story told through many poems? Because if that's the case, I would definitely be interested in reading more of.
