"It's just a few words" they said,
"It's just a few rumours" they said,
"It's just a few more days", they said
But they never knew that each day, she was hurting
She was scared
She was sleepless
She was tired
Her mind used to wander into thoughts she never knew she had
They were dark and painful
She started sinking and sinking before she realised it's too late to work her way out.
She started to fake a smile, to hide her sadness
She started to wear full sleeves all the time, to hide her scars
She started feeling lonely
She kept thinking, "what did I do to make people hate me?"
She couldn't do it anymore
She wanted to give up........
But someone made her get her hope back
Her parents, her friends and the people who love her
She had been wishing to go to a different grade
And her wish came true
She learnt not to give up and there are people for her
There is something called god,
They do listen to you
She was happy
She felt loved
She felt confident
She started loving herself
She stopped self harm
She felt like a winner
She fought the war
And she tells everyone, "you can fight it too, you just have to believe"
Depression is real
It is not a joke
She felt herself the best in her
