Author Information
A young girl of 18
Surrounded by a sky full of stars
A young girl of only 18 -
One who’s too old to die
But too young to live.
[moribund]
A mask forms with each passing memory
A form of who she once was;
It Fills now with tears of all the years she’s lived based on broken dreams.
[nightmares]
Her sight goes blurred
She’s drowning; slowly - alone.
She holds her breath and prepares for the bitter cold of reality to consume her.
[drained]
Stars die young but their light still shines, kissing the earth
This once bright flame is long gone out with nothing but smoke.
[ash]
Through the smoke her light still shines bright on the outside
Slowly fading away with the smile once worn so proudly
[brave]
Time is your only friend
Until it works against you
Adulthood stares her in the eyes with a bloody dagger swinging
[swaying]
A gasp escapes -
she finds herself falling into a hopeless world of nightmares and fears
[terrors]
She was a dream catcher
But all she caught was nightmares
Caught in a universe of her own.
[drugged]
Friends come to greet this young girl of only 18
But find only a blank gaze
Day dreaming is her passion - so they believe
[conceive]
But in those eyes of blue
She swims in a sea of people loved and lost.
Happiness never more.
[paradise]
Floating in a sky made of stars
A young girl of only 18
Too old to try
And too young to know.
