The Family Trait

A sudden sadness A taste of madness a tear trickles down due to the on going storm going on in the passage A story never told to anyone wrecks havocked and it's all because of a family trait the reason this girl can't think straight To the outside world it all appears to be fairytale but the numbness inside she feels can't be weight on any scale There is a simple term to describe the yearn to kill ones self depression. When nothing feels right. Even when everything is fine. I gained this family trait which has been passed down through each female Most of the time I'm strong enough to fight it off But there are those days when I get in a daze and I listen to the whispers trying to reel me in No I won't take medicine I've always been pretty hesitant The cure lies in my own self will If I am truly strong than I will never let it devour me whole.
