At Eighteen. She was lost, Bleeding from inside out With wounds unhealed from her past, But all they saw was her lustic smile. She, a beautiful flower drowning in the deep- Under the grasp of self destruct, Silently, She called for help but they didn't listen. All they chose to see was beauty covering the ugly truth of her imperfect life, They chose the lies because it was easy, It is easy to think one is fine, after all βIt saves you the emotional energy they said" While she sunk deeper into the deep, a black hole called reality She awaited for signs that someone noticed both her pain and joy But all they chose to see way the joy Until sadness took that away Through the unholy vessel called anxiety and, Depression her ally She finally lost her spark And all they chose to see were her beautiful memories (Lies) Covering yet another part of her , Her story and the battles she fought All on her own
We all fight silent battles at some point in our lives, It can be because of depression, anxiety or just all demons. It's hard to tell everyone about what your are battling with, maybe because of the social norms etc. Find your voice and tell someone about It, don't battle alone until you bleed off on the battlefield. If you've overcome a demon try becoming present for someone else so that they wouldn't go through it alone
