What People Never See

Nobody sees the noose around her neck. Slowly getting tighter. Nobody sees it because she hides it. She hides it because it's made from her thoughts and emotions. Nobody sees the marks she hides under the sleeves she uses to dry her eyes. Nobody sees her cry to herself every night in her room. Nobody sees the way she looks at her reflection. The one people say isn't pretty enough. The one that isn't thin enough. The one that isn't tall enough. The one that will never be perfect enough. Nobody sees her starve herself in an attempt to wither herself down to the perfect weight. She knows that no matter what she will never be "the one." The one with perfect skin. The one with the perfect body. The one that everyone loves. The one that doesn't have to hide behind a fake smile. The one that has real friends. The one that doesn't have to worry all the time about what her bf is doing. The one that doesn't have to worry about not being good enough. The one that never feels alone. The one that finally stopped feeling like she was slowly suffocating in her own mind...
