A few years ago, I remember when
I lost myself and
fell into a severe depression
I struggled getting out of bed
my mind was full of thoughts
most of them were
of suicide

I always smiled
through the pain
but there were times
that my mood crashed
to the point of no return
as I felt the tears falling
making my eyes burn
as I went up to look
at my reflection
but all I could see was a lost person
a person trying to find herself
as well as regain her emotional strength
to fight those terrible thoughts in her head
and put all that struggle to rest

there are still times where I fall apart
crying myself to sleep
but I am still trying
to make a full
recovery
