Her Story

Where had her life gone?
How was it spent?
Had she lived to the fullest,
said what she meant?

She's a whole different person,
than the person she once knew.
She's changed, she's distinct.
She's totally brand new.

She's gone though some troubles.
Some worries,
some blues,
Please,
For a moment,
Take a walk in her shoes.

A girl, not much different than anyone else.
Except for the fact,
that she needed some help.

She would lay in bed,
covers over her head.
Music blasting,
tears ever lasting,
staining her face.

She tried to hide from her pain,
as her eyes would drain,
The music colliding with her thoughts

Another scene
prim and clean.
The home of nurses,
and now that girl of sixteen.

She had done it.
Blown a fuse,
her parents were worried
and she couldn't refuse.

an ER display,
to her dismay,
was how she spent the night.

After needles and blood
her tears started to flood,
as her parents had to go.

She sat on her windowsill
looking up at the sky.
Asking the dear Lord,
"why?"

She couldn't be herself there.
Which put her on the edge.
and after trouble with her doctor,
she was even closer to the ledge.

But one nurse made a difference,
with a smile she expressed,
"I see you getting out of here,
making difference.
It doesn't matter that your depressed."

So after a week in a hospital,
seven days to renew.
She found herself again.
But now, she'd have to follow through.

Her parents were thankful
and glad to have her back.
On new medication,
there was only one thing she lacked.

And that was to remember that her illness is not her.
She is just a person.
who has gone through a lot more.

So she lives her life to the fullest.
Spends it with friends.
She says only what she means,
And that is where this story ends.
