Just As A Waterfall Poem by Corvette Nezumi Mikazuki

A girl lies alone
Her eyes broken in tears
Her mascara streams down her face,
Like a black waterfall flowing
She shakes in horror, sadness, and regret
Never has she felt so hurt, so broken, or so alone
She being locked cannot tell others of her life or how she feels
Watched, she is forced into a corner of fear

Fearful obedience can be deadly
Obedience by respect is all she wishes
Although they try to tame a lion amongst fear
Eventually, the lion will turn

An anger which slowly evolves into hatred
She grows only fully of anger and her bottled sorrows
Dreams of the freedom she desires come closer only by age
Everything becomes a blur
Silence falls upon her

The things she tells them they don’t believe
They think she’s making things up for attention she consistently tells them she doesn’t desire from them
She sees demons, they tell her she’s just imagining things
She passes out, they tell her it’s just because she’s dehydrated
They take her writings and see she’s talking with others about these things
They ask her what these mean, as she tells them they’ve never believe her
They judge her, telling her she doesn’t believe.
They judge her, telling her what she believes.
They still deny her, telling her that she’s making things up.

She lies on the floor alone
Nothing seeming to ever change
The tears still fall down her face
Just as a waterfall…
