Broken

There was a me.
A simple, happy and fun loving girl.
Maybe I laughed too loudly.
Maybe I smiled too much.
Fate noticed me then and frowned upon me.

Tears started to glisten down dry cheeks.
Sobs racked my soul,
despair and denial sweeping through me.
I simply could not understand this turn of fate.

I tried to reign in the pain,
trying to justify the sorrow I felt,
the feeling that numbs my every cell,
and leaves a bitter ache through my veins.

I never knew how hard it was to keep a smile.
I never knew such depths of sadness before,
and a terrible empty feeling deep inside,
a fathomless void that seemed to engulf my every sane thought.

I never wondered if there would come a dusk in my life,
where I would spend days pouring out my soul,
crying out to someone who seems to be deaf,
praying but not knowing what I am praying for.

My soul shattered.
My whole life was destroyed within seconds.
There seems to be no reason to go on anymore.
The pen has simply been lifted, the pages dried up,
my destiny already written down and irrevocable.

Well, broken soul...
A powerful piece, which may or may not resonate with my own situation. A very full portrait, for which I commend you.
As I remarked in an earlier comment, I cannot empathise with some feelings. But since this poem is so very well crafted, I have a little understanding of the girl's predicament.
I trust her soul will mend in time.
