Could She Ever Be Who She Wants? Poem by Shannon Nicole

She's hiding in her memories,
Terrible ones at that.
She's living in a lie her family wishes she could be,
A lie told to deep to change.
She's remembering how her little sister used to get into all her stuff,
What was she thinking?
She didn't have any family,
No one would come to her side when she needed them the most.
She always wondered when someone would really notice her,
Notice her pain through this all.
She wanted people to understand that she was hurting inside,
That she really needed someone's help.
She wished someone would hug her tight and say everything would be alright,
Everything would be okay.
She knew that nothing would change,
Nothing would be fine.
It was all just a lie, remember?
Her life was just a lie.
She was nothing but a fake,
To everyone else.
