Her heart beat like a steady drum in a song of sorrow.
She felt like broken glass that couldn't be fixed.
She asked life so many questions but never got any answers.
She heard the whistle of the wind and the shaking of the trees.
She heard the birds chirping and children playing.
She thought that was the answer but she was wrong.
Her questions would go unanswered.
She felt alone in life and no one could ever understand.
She looked for more answers.
She knew that curiosity can kill.
She had nothing to lose.
So she left.
She left everyone behind.
She was a storm leaving a mess in her path.
Yet one thing was always constant.
She always felt alone.
This journey to fit in and understand was draining.
She was losing herself trying to please everyone.
Yet she could never be alone.
The monsters hiding in the shadows never left her alone.
She was constantly being dragged down.
They convinced her she was alone.
The shadows consumed her.
