Desolate girl



Beaten and battered
She ran through the tracks
Running towards the light
She saw ahead of her
Her light was a disaster
Her whole world was coming to an end like a falling roller coaster

Her pains increased
As she thought of she had being through
She was born innocent but was forced to become evil
She was hated right from the day she came into the world of the living
She was born among people who despised weaklings
And to them she was another weaklings
An obstacle that prevented them from progressing

Staring at her reflection in the water
She looked at her eyes, the source of her pain
They were dead and lacked every form of life
These black eyes that represented nothing but agony
She screamed in anger
As tears streamed down her cheeks
She bit her lips while remembering her promise
She would never cry

Smiling at her reflection
She remembered how she once believed
That being nice would get her people's love
But she forgot something
She didn't live in a normal world
She lived in a world where demons dwelt in moving bodies

All she ever wanted was to be loved
But what she got in return
Was nothing but hatred

She cried as the rain began to drizzle
Reminding her of her pains
She remembered the times she spent crying
Wishing there was someone to comfort her
Only to find out that she was alone in this world of hers
And she made up her mind
To run her race as a lonely girl
