She


Closed eyes, Closed Doors

Dried Up Tears 

A Bunch of No's and I Can'ts 

She no longer wants to wake up

 A monster has taken over her

It is changing her from the inside out

No one really understands but her

She just wants to be alone

Cheering was her life and now she cant even enjoy it

This monster is killing her slowly

Horrible thoughts cross her mind 

Somedays she doesn't even want to eat

Having this monster in her is like someone telling her everyday how bad she is

How she isn't worth anything

How all she ever does is make mistakes

One day everything changed

She got tired of losing friends and feeling sorry for herself

So she surrendered herself to the therepists

Was scared at first didnt want to be gave up on

Through months of help her closed eyes began to open 

Her tears faded away

Her frowns were replaced with a smile

This monster that invaded her mind was Depression

Through recovery the monster was killed

Never give up on yourself

You have to go through the bad days to get to the better.
