She is happy
Sometimes naughty
A bright young lady
That has a hidden story
She looks happy but she's not
Trying to fit in but cannot
They thought she's strong but she's not
She really hides her weak spot.
Her mind is preoccupied
Most of the night she cried
Trying to be strong inside
Nothing to do but sighed
She made it obvious to her friends,
She needs someone to depend
But none of them extend
Their hands and heart to lend
They said, "Don't embrace the sadness,
You always choose the darkness,
It's your fault for that dimness
coz you distant yourself from brightness"
They don't know how it feels,
Fighting a demon inside her head,
Trying to be strong and find the light,
But she doesn't have the energy to do that
Now she felt alone
She creates a world of her own
She suddenly turns off her phone
Gonna listen to whispers in her dark zone
She finally wants to end this fight
Darkness filled her and can't see any light
She took the pills without a doubt
The devil won and took her soul that night
*I wrote this poem last year and just add some words tonight. It was inspired by the news that I watched, about depression and suicide. The rate of suicide rising up in other countries and even here in the Philippines. I'm glad that these days, mental health awareness is spreading and discussed by many. Depression is not a joke.
