Dont Look Away Poem by Destiny Vancil

The once tough little girl who knew who she was....
Is scared of what she has become and
what is now scarred in her memories...Sometimes
she cant even look at herself in the mirror...She crys
because of what the reflection tells her every time
that is now a nightmare to...The one who never cried
no matter what...Crys the once beautiful face to sleep
at night...She will lay in bed at night and ask herself
where it went wrong, where she went wrong, where life
went wrong...When people ask her 'Why do you carry the pain? '
She answers in a very once amazing voice that is now
a very scared voice 'It’s not simple,
Nor is it an easy matter to explain the pain was me all along'
