They're whispering words into my ears,
They whisper my greatest fears.
They started out small, with just one word,
Soon, they became all that I heard.
No one could guess fervour of the storm on inside,
I wished it would just stop, but no one to confide.
I write words to phantom; of an end here,
They sit watching, as I feel the intensity of stares.
Secrets tumbling in me; I carve them into my wrist,
I have fallen, I know, I won't be missed.
It was true, written in my eyes,
But instead, they believed all the lies.
Ugly, fat, worthless, broken, dark, lost.
I wanted it to stop, no matter the cost.
I kept secrets, they dragged me down.
Now I will forever be a queen with a broken crown.
