• She was strong but still human
    their words cracked her defenses
    striking where it could hurt the most
    anger, sadness
    she let them both rule
    hoping it would numb the pain
    until one day she felt nothing
    she looked into the mirror
    and saw nothing
    a lifeless being
    a body with no direction
    she could have reached out
    but all she ever felt was shadows
    cold, dark, elusive
    she never understood how to escape
    but for once she didn't care
    she sank into them like it was home
    letting it latch onto her pulling her away
    away from everything that never mattered
    but should have
    she let the darkness feel her with hate
    poisoning the being she used to be
    the being she had wanted to be
    a small part of her struggled
    but the larger part welcomed it
    she let herself go becoming one with it
    sucked into oblivion it no longer mattered
    because she no longer existed
    having become no one but a shattered past
    and forgotten name
