Where Did I Go?

By: Elizabeth Tripp

Who is this girl I see in the mirror?

This girl’s eyes full of fear, caused by

Demons whispering in her ears.

Scared one day their words won’t be lies.

She holds on, trying not to cry.

Each day wanting to die,

She finally cries.

A cry for help

More like a yelp

Or a scream,

But she next makes a scene.

Happiness is all she seeks,

But rarely does she get a peek

Of what life should really be.
