looks happy and healthy from the outside. on the inside though you can tell she's dying. she's dying a slow and painful death. everybody is resuscitating her against her will. all she wants is to let go. a chance to be free. why keep her alive in this misery? don't they see how bad she wants to let go? don't they see that they are only hurting her more? there's nothing they can do. she is past that point. help should have come a long time ago. when she was asking for it. when she told you how she felt. when she was screaming for help and all you did was look away. tell her it would all get better. she was to young. her favorite was that we'll deal with it later. she's tired of waiting. tired of acting. she's gonna keep going back to that dark place. why not just let her go? it's not like you would care?
