She is ...... Happy


She is ......Depressed,

In a way that feels like a river, One that refuses to flow simply because it is displeased with it's own nature

But, she is Existing

She is ......Depressed, 

In a sense that is similar to a suicide note 

There for show but not serving any "real" purpose because the subject is deceased

When she looks in the mirror, She can not identify the thing she sees in front of her

But, she is Existing

She is Depressed

She is Depressed

She is Depressed

She is ......Content

Finding it easier to open doors that were once bolted shut by compressed emotions 

She is Alive

................

She is ......Depressed

Oh God not again, She is not ready

But this time feels different

There is a piece of her freshly renovated heart that passed away with her sister

She feels as though she had passed her contaminated blood onto her

She is ......Existing

As time passes she learns that this is not her fault

She learns that there are people who love her even if she despises herself

She is ......Content

As of now, she can feel the virus being removed from my blood like the sun drying the wet pavement after a rainy day

Unfortunately, her sister was not able to feel this joy

When she looks in the mirror, she see a smile

That river is now flowing and that suicide note does not exist

She can now honestly say that she loves herself

Now she is Living

Now she is Happy
