The girl I once called "me"

Among the cluttered archives of my pensive

Lie the memories of a girl whom I once called "me"

Her eyes alight, luminous as the sun

But her figure grows dim with every breath that's drawn

The inquisitive mind's questions lie forever subdued

Her heart's inner-strength quietly accrued

The insistent cruelty claims her will as it's prize

embedding it's malice into her deepest of confines

Riddled with conflict, despair, and her newly affirmed host

Her identity peals, her former self now a ghost

As I cling to the memories of her one innocent form

A searing pain jets through me and I silently mourn

This girl pure as rain, is now all but gone

Her resolve, self-assurance, will, and life won

won by a cruelty too often bestowed on the meek

Teased and berated abused by her critique

She loves on in spite of her impending demise

Rendered by those she loves deeply with her bright eyes

The eyes reflect this battered and weary soul

The eyes that grow dim as she will never be whole

Damaged and beaten by life itself

The irony is uncanny, the toll it takes is real

The shell keeps going a pariah she is now

The inverse of a corpse she is the living dead

Why her heart keeps beating,

or blood flows through her veins,

Why she draws in breath or why she even has a name

is a questioning plea for someone to reclaim

This sobbing young soul from her everlasting flame

A torture so bitter she must suffer alone

A nomad by force with nowhere to call home

when all that is left is the fight she has in her

She's transformed into someone sullen and bitter

Calling out to the world in one last desperate scream

begging to reclaim the girl I once called "me"
