I AM

I am quiet and confused

I wonder if I'll ever be the same

I hear conflict in my head

I see IT watching me

I want to tell someone what happened

I am quiet and confused.

I pretend I'm okay

I feel broken and hurt

I touch the broken mirror

I worry that Rachel is next

I cry but no one sees me

I am quiet and confused.

I understand no one will believe me

I say nothing

I dream IT isn't real and can't hurt me

I try to block out the memories

I hope for some kind of change within me

I am quiet and confused.
