This poem represents my life and how I've battled with my depression from being a sexual abuse victim.
I used to know, what happiness was
I used to gaze, at the stars above
I used to live, so happily
Until that happiness, was stripped from me
I used to laugh, I used to play
Now all I want, is to go away
Now the darkness, has taken over me
I think I'll never, live happily
As I sit, with my knees to my chest
I think it'd be better, if I only left
I love the stars, I love the moon
And in the endThey're my only friends
I try to be cheerful, I put on a smile
But it soon goes away, after a while
I don't know what to do
I don't know how to feel
All I know, is that I wish this wasn't real
I wish I was dreaming, I want to wake
From this horrible, truly dark state
I wish I was young, wild and free
But those days are over, they were taken from me
I always think, I was twelve, why me
I just want to live, happily
Maybe someday, but not right now
My soul will become brighter,
I just don't know how
I tried fighting the darkness, the demons, the shadows
But they took over me, took advantage of my sorrow
I need to fix my heart, fix my soul
So once again, I can become a whole
As I lay here, wide awake
All I can do, is sob and shake
I need to cry, I need to heal
I need someone to know, all that I feel
I need to tell someone, what happened to me
So that I might, live happily
