Oh little girl

"Oh little girl,"

They say with distain 

Usually followed by a suggestion on how to change myself 

But I don't want to change 

 

"Oh little girl,"

With tears in their eyes 

I know that they only have pity for me

But I don't want their pity

 

"Oh little girl,"

Laughing out my name

I'm a joke to them

But I don't want to be a clown 

 

"Oh little girl," 

"Oh poor baby,"

They claim while clutching their pearls

But they didn't care before 

 

"Oh little girl,"

I think you're weird 

I think you're pathetic 

I think you're a joke 

That's what I'll say to those who claim I'm a mistake

    Retract and hide

    I've recently found myself back in my shell

    Pretending to be someone I'm not

    And I think I know why.

     

    I've pulled back from people 

    Only interacting with animals and strangers online

    Radio silence

    I'm opening my phone

    To nothing 

    No messages, no emails, no missed calls,

    All I'm getting is radio silence 

     

    The sinking feeling in my heart returned

    The one where you know something is wrong

    It's dark out now.

    Stinging my eyes

    The tears come

    Pouring down

    Relentlessly.

    Still breathing 

    Still warm

    Yet dead 

    To me

    And me alone.

    Grief floods me

    Again 

    I'm drowning
