She is

She isn’t afraid to say hey

That isn’t me

She isn’t afraid of you saying

Who she is

She isn’t afraid of losing someone

Who doesn’t see her

She isn’t afraid of hearing from you

It wasn’t her fault

She isn’t afraid of being alone

Because you didn’t hear

While he built his walls

heartbreak

About the Creator

Lisa Pulliam

I love making fun of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts in short form writing such as songs and illustrations. I would like to write longer and more explorative pieces for others to read.

Peel the lore from me Until I am nothing more Than creaking pine branches Groaning under the snow, Waving in the arctic breeze.

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.
