she’ll be dead by then

my parents dont understand what ive been through
my sister has made my throat ache because of me yelling at her to leave me alone
she does not listen despite me screaming at her to leave me be
she does not see the pain she has inflicted upon the young girl
she is so oblivious to the girl that crumbles each day until one day
she will be nothing and she will die
people around this young girl are oblivious too
they do not see the bruises that hide under her long sleeves
the red slap marks that she has hidden under concealer
the red and puffy eyes that cried into the night
because she has hidden these dark secrets from the world
images go through the young girl’s mind like crazy
building up anger, sadness, and pain
until one day she will snap
and then what will happen
no one will know
because she’ll be dead by then.
