She sits behind the wheel of her car and frowns at the traffic ahead. Having nowhere else to go, she stares out of her window and listens to the song blasting through the stereo speakers. The music keeps her distracted, if only for a short amount of time, from the numbing pain in her heart. She inwardly cringes, not wanting to remember.
As the second verse of the song begins, she realizes that it's twilight. Another end to another day. This does not bring any kind of consolation to her, but she cannot deny the beauty that this time of day brings. Dimming sunlight paints the sky varying colors. Yellow, orange, pink and blue. The night starts to set in as the bridge of the song rings in her head.
Breathing a heavy sigh, she swallows the lump forming in her throat. The setting makes her think of how she has lived from day to day. Outwardly, she seemed as natural as the setting sun. Doing everything society had expected of her. But inwardly, she fought against the pain that she had brought on herself.
In the confines of her bedroom, she would scream silently for an answer, an ending. But no mercy was given. No one would hear her. Daylight would come again tomorrow. She would brave the world with her assumed role, covering her tear streaked face with a mask of smiles and laughter. Only in the cross between day and night would her facade dissolve. And the world would see the remains of a broken heart.

Song that inspired this blog: 'I belong to no one' - God or Julie
"Everybody loves you, when you're how they want you.
Everybody hates me, 'cause I belong to no one."
