“Everyday she wakes up

it’s always a struggle,

a continuous battle between

her head and the reality

of surviving day to day

in a life that she sometimes

wonders if it is really worth it.

I can see her trying.

I can hear the defeat in her

voice and see the torture

in her walk when all she wants

is to be okay again,

to be able to live outside

of this world that she somehow

found herself trapped in,

only to be touched but not recused.

She doesn’t need to

tell me about the darkness

in her mind when I can see

the proof of it all inside of her eyes.”
