Walk Away Girl

by Megan Aries - Not entered

12:45 p.m. My lunch hour. Instead of 
being social and sharing lunch with
my co-workers, I have come to the park
on this beautiful day. I have come here
to cry. I came alone, I'd rather not 
have anyone bear witness to this blatant
show of self degradation. Why am I so
easy to throw away? I thought I was
smart and simple, so easy to love. I am
just a walk away girl. I look so much
better when I'm walking away. Or so I've
been told. My tears are made up of water,
salt and a nagging self hatred. You have
left, just as everyone does, to look for
something more than I will ever be. I am
hurting. I pray to God that I will heal.
Please help me to be myself again.
