Why?

Why does this room feel so
Cold, heartless, and
Unforgiving
Why am I so
Blank, cold as ice,
Always shivering cold.
Unloved, thoughtless
Why am I so alone and
Lost.
Why can’t I talk
Instead of my lips sewed.
Why am I alive?

    So much heartache,

    shown with so few words. Unfortunately, I can not tell you what is wrong. I really wish I could help you. My guess for why you can't speak is fear. Fear of bringing to light what has caused your emptiness. You are not alone. You just don't see that I'm right here beside you, waiting for you to find the courage to talk to me. Hoping you will find the courage to talk to me. Praying you will find the courage to talk to me. Trying desperately to help you find the courage to talk to me. You are alive because you are a wonderful person and He has a need for you in this world, even if you don't know it. You are not Unloved. He loves you and though I barely know you I love you. You are a wonderful young lady, Hope. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Why am I so alone and
    Lost."
