Chloe
She whispers,"they're beautiful", so innociently
And traced the marks
The queen of hearts
Smiled coyly
I faced the card, met her hand
And struggled for the words
"You miss outside?"
She met my eyes
It hurts to look at hers
She shakes her head
A smile threats
Worthy of the queens
Her sleeves fall
Like words best left unsaid
Theres wounds best left unseen
Her expression hardens
And quickly softens
"There's nothing left out there for me"
She fold her hand
I look to her, hesitantly
"You can still stop"
My voice wavers
"Addictions hard to beat"
She looks afar
Still tracing scars
"But then who would I be?"

Thank you so much! I am so humbled by your words, truly. I find little time to write now but I am always reading in my spare time. It means the world to me that even a single line I could write would touch you! Stay gold.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I Worked In Mental Health Six Years
Like the health care system-hospitals/physician groups/nursing homes - all are in trouble because of the war costs and security of homeland and the new matrix for keeping bombs from taking out people and buildings. Someone in government forgot the people again and what they need from tax dollars. Not corrupt, broke - Stella
I do not think corrupt was
I do not think corrupt was the right word...I can definitely understand that and completely agree that we haven't the funding we need. I was treated very poorly. A few years later and some perspective and I realize not everyone has the heart to work in mental health...
