Unanswered Questions by Life


Why does the world hate my existence? Why do I hate it too? What comes out of my being? Who am I? What can I do to feel like myself again? Like I belong in this world? Why do I dream bigger than I can achieve when I know I can't achieve it? Why don't I feel important? Why is failure attracted to me? Why can't I be loved like I want to be loved? What am I to this world? How do I change this? Can I break destiny? Is this what it feels like to fall? Am I gonna be like this forever?What will become of me? Will I always be who I am now? Am I really loved? What should I do? What will I do? What if? Question after question. Bruise after bruise. Cut after cut. Pain shatters the barrier between my heart and reality. I sit in silence as the sadness whips across my flesh, Burying me in burden and desire. Such a young girl. Such a hard time living. Most teens worry about What they're gonna wear and Which friend they're going to hang out with that weekend. I'm trying to find out What I'm going to do with myself And how I can stay alive Without succumbing to a blistering hatred for life. I'm trying, Fighting my way through pessimists And negativity, But they're overbearing And surround me with every ounce of strength that they And I Have. Fight, Danielle... Fight.

She isn't just another girl... She is a very special girl... an extraordinary girl... a girl with depression, and bipolar disorder, and ADD, and insomnia. She's a girl who wants to please everyone, who wants to help the world, who has no time to please herself, who God is pushing to the limits, getting too close to the edge of defeat. She's a girl that when a friend is in need, she gives it to them, no matter how big or small. She's a girl that has the weight of the world on her shoulders, and if she steps away for a second, the world will come crashing down. She's a girl that just wants to grow up and be a writer, an astronaut, a model, a fashion designer, and live in New York. A girl that wants so badly to quit school, and a girl whose on the brink of life and death because of her mental stability. A girl that would be glad to switch lives with any one of her friends, and a girl that just needs help. This is her story, and story of a battle, a mental war, that isn't getting anything, except for more people hurt...
