She Was Exposed
For the human being that is her truth
She darkens her thoughts with the fear she feels,
That constant dark cloud that hangs over her head,
The agonising mind cripple as she believes she’s a fool,
Terrified of all she has faced and all that is yet to come,
Why? All because she’s horribly human!
She penalises her time with regrettable words spoken,
They continue to whiz around inside her head for days,
A laugh too loud, a secret spilt,
The ache in her chest reminds her of her stupidity,
Why? All because she had a good time!
Frozen in bed, struggling to rise,
Sleep wasn’t the peaceful blessing she was aiming for,
Torment rolled through her dreams as others whisper,
Laughing at her forgotten antics, the ones she can’t remember,
Why? All because she let her guard down!
Dread of tomorrow, of the words she’ll hear,
Fear of the unknown from her harshest critic,
Listening to the criticism spewed all weekend,
Running from the voices, arguing she’s not that bad,
Why? All because she lost control!
