Sigh

Knew

Before I started

Upon this journey

Of mine.

Life

Would be tough

But not like

This.

Of

Having my heart

Ripped to shreds

By those

Close to me.

Truly

Becoming an outcast

In every sense

Of the word.

As

I finding myself

Forced to adapt

To so many new rules

And expectations

As a woman.

But

Hardest is

The loneliness

Of my heart.

As

Silent tears

Flow.
