Her Strongest Soldier

By Aaileen Sarwar Syed

She never really spoke it out loud

But she didn't feel the need to

To get rid of what's eating her up

Is this blood around me or am I imagining things?

She didn't smell any blood

You're still picturing things eh?

She thought she'd been happy with what she had

She definitely thought she was

She had more than what she could asked for

But it never stopped her body to eat her up

As frail as ever, her life suddenly seemed meaningless

She knew she wouldn't cry

She just wouldn't

She had steeled herself to it

Everyday was just the same

It never got better

It repeats

I tried forgetting

The life in this world has much more than just sad old me

It saddens

My heart skyrocketed, so did the pain

I knew I couldn't really take it much more for a lot longer

It hurts

I never really thought I'd do this to myself

This show of bravery had to be my end

It kills
