Unspoken Agony

Her world was once a fairytale,
Everything seemed so right,
A wrong impression of character,
And everything lost its light.

Now when she looks in the mirror,
All she feels is eternal pain,
Caused by a trusted ‘friend’
Insecurity is all that remains.

After months enduring agony
She finally made a choice,
She had a moment to hesitate,
And then she heard a voice.

She tied a noose upon the roof,
Stepped back to admire her ‘art’
Knot on her neck, got up on a chair,
Everything then went dark.
