No one is coming for you

Truth hurts

By Siyabulela MchilaPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Stressed miserable woman

No one came for her

No one was thinking about her

Not the friends, not the ex boyfriends

Not even the family

That was when she realised that

she’s in the midst of the ocean

People don’t care, she thought

Looking miserable, even confused

No mental facility could help

Then again knew it’s a sad reality

No one was coming for her

How did it happen?

Why was she alone in that mess?

She asked questions that don’t have answers

She knew she’s the main character

Wrapped up in her plot

Facing her own challenges

And hoping for happy ending

She was the danger to herself now

Suicidal thoughts glued to her brains

She was found in the bedroom

about to take a kick of that stool

Ready to leave the loved ones behind

Thank God she was found before time
