Depressed

She was depressed

But her life was going well.

She wanted more

She wanted purpose

She wanted control.

She was tired of her usual day in, day out.

Go to school

Go home

Do work

Go to sleep

Wake up

Do it all over again

 She fell into a hole

A hole of depression that lets her know she have nothing

If she died now who would remember her besides her family.

After a while she decided to cut

But not cut since her mother would see if she did.

She scraped.

For a month

Barely drawing blood most times

Mere raises were the norm.

After a while someone found out

Since several raises turned to light white marks on her cocoa skin

Whoever they were, told her mother

Who accused her of being an attention seeker?

She had to stop "scraping" but that doesn’t mean her depression ceased.
