Depression

She suffered from darkness all her life.
World full of hateness.
Longed to be loved and held for comfort, not abused and being disowned.
She was alone and needed acceptance feel belonged to someone in world.
No one said she make it.
Yet she smiled each day and went on.
She grew courage.
Today standing strong.
Determined to fight for dreams she longed.
For it was the light she sought.
And OH how the might showed, the battles she overcome.
