There's A War in Her Mind
April 17, 2016
Spilling from her lashes, she saw tears.
I saw constellations.
Spilling from her lashes, she felt scars.
I felt galaxies.
She said, "Darling, I've got a war in my mind."
I told her, "Baby, it must be a terrifying place to be."
And yea, she's consumed by her own insanity.
But I found to many oddities to waste what
lives beneath those pale, porcelain bones.

I wrote this piece looking back on myself when I was going through a really tough time emotionally. Now, I'm submitting it in the hopes that readers will realize their own self-worth. I sincerely hope that those who are struggling will take a good look at themsleves and realize that they are worth it. I want people to know that they were put on this earth for a reason, even if they don't entirely know what that reason may be.
