To Understand Poem by Nina Salazar

I’m afraid,
I’m starting to fade,
Life is just pain,
My soul held by a chain.

My mind and soul need rest,
Am I just depressed?
I listen to the pain, to the lies,
While a part of me dies.

My eyes, full of fear,
Sometimes I wish it would only be tears,
I’m falling apart, for reasons unknown,
And I wonder, am I all alone?

No one was there for me,
How I was falling apart, no one could see,
My heart crumbling to dust,
With no one to trust.

While I fade away,
I’ll pray for someone to say:
“I understand what you’ve been through,
I care about you”.
