Breaking

In the mist of everyday life
She walks alone in the world
Feeling the pressures weigh on her
While the scale tips to either side.

One day,.. she feels is coming
Much sooner then she had hoped.
Making life a struggle
As she carefully holds it off.

The slow but ever clear pain
Can be seen in her eyes through a mirror
She's breaking down and losing
What hope she had left.

The weight of her tiring eyes become a hassle
As she fears to fall asleep
knowing once she's woken up
the day becomes nearer

Its worse each day
she covers her eyes and ears
but in her heart she knows
they're breaking
falling further apart than before.

Her family portrait was never perfect
never one that was ideal
however she thought it was enough

In fear, she lies awake in bed
she hides away from knowing
that one day, soon.
her smiling family
will be known as broken.
