//She rose to the surface
of the ocean of her tears,
welcomed by the warmth
of the first rays of the sun
from under the depth of the cold water,
feeling more alive than ever before.
She rose to the surface
after winning her battles against misery
which had pulled her down,
deep within, underneath the surface.
She rose to the surface
when she looked for hope
when she was in pain,
and when she finally ignored
the voices in her head
telling her to give up the fight.
And as she rose to the surface,
she bid a warm goodbye
to the life she once had,
to the life she was going to take away.//
