ABYSS Lump in the throat making it hard to swallow Unshed tears that threaten to fall Hiding in fear of the sorrow inside She masks it all with a smile. With every breath she takes, she hurts With every step she walks, she stumbles She struggles to keep it all inside Treacherous trembling lips mar that smile. She fought like a warrior, till she won Battered and bruised, she went on Relentless, she broke the glass walls The shards pierced her soul. At one glance, she appears calm Look carefully, she is a raging storm. Her eyes are pale, perhaps dead like the sea before a hurricane. She once believed in the myth -  Happiness comes to those who wait. Her struggle was nothing but futile A price she paid with her smile. She is broken down, on her knees Giving up with her tear - stained face Drowning in misery, she begs for aid Styx comes to carry her away.                                                         - Pearl
